That sweet elixir

Have you seen the Nyquil commercial that depicts a group of guys camping in an RV?

One of the guys has sneezing and coughing along with a stuffy head, aching, fever, and the inability to rest. The other guys use a survival guide to diagnose him until one of the guys says, "He's got 'morning drive,'" and hands him a bottle of Nyquil. "You good for the morning?" "Definitely."

Next, we see the RV barreling down the road and cut to a shot of the driver after his night of Nyquil. He's wild-eyed and happy, yelling, "Woohoo!"

Uhhhhh, doesn't anyone else realize that driver is high and shouldn't be driving after a Nyquil night?

As a fond--I'm not knocking Nyquil: I love it!--and once frequent Nyquil user, I laughed and laughed. If that commercial was 10 seconds longer, we'd see that RV swerving into a ditch.

Regarding another commercial, I discovered today that those Glade candles that are supposed to be like fancy, boutique candles are quite fragrant and lived up to my expectations.
