I may not use Tums, but I love their adorable bear commercial
Usually when I get heartburn, I turn to good old Pepto, mostly because I like the taste and texture better than any other stomach remedy. Have you ever tried Mylanta? Shudder. It has the consistency of something I won’t mention in polite company, and the taste of death. But Tums would probably be my backup plan if the world ever ran out of Pepto Bismol (and a terrifying world that would be). They’re certainly better than those ones that take forever to work, Prilosec or whatever.
Regardless, I like Tums ads because they’re simple and they show appetizing-looking food sometimes. Like in the one where the guy is standing in the rain gazing longingly at a cheesesteak store. Then he remembers that he can just take medicine when it wakes up his terrible stomach problems, so he goes in and chows down. I don’t care about his stomach problems, I just like looking at delicious cheesesteaks.
But this bear commercial is clearly their best, because it stars a bear. And the bear gets heartburn! That is one smart yet destructive beast.
Not the gay porn kind of bear, if search results brought you here by mistake
