From Jim Edwards’ Placebo Effect, Bnet, CBS Interactive.) (This is not your grandma’s CBS. Things are changing)

Reminds me of a Mad Magazine satirical (!!!!) ad for a pharmaceutical product called StoppaDaSneezin...

I am trying to remember, but I think among other qualities, they advertised that it would not work if one used generic versions, but that it could also be used as a substitute for Mop 'N Glo, WD40, or Lo Cal Cool Whip Topping....

Then they mentioned 26 pages of known side effects for this product, including the possibility of making one's heart speed up, slow down, stop, reverse direction, completely relocate, or function as a second liver (but only in "cry baby" type patients), the possibility that one's hair would fall out, turn grey, or start growing on the inside of the skull, and another possibility that one might burrow a hole into the ground and live there permanently. :D

There was a lot more to the StoppaDaSneezin story but that's what I recall.
