A stop smoking product that I now can't even remember the name of, but was subject to a late night radio advertizing blitz. I was driving at night from near the Utah border back to Colorado Springs (about a 400 mile trip), and all the way across the damn state, this ad seemed to come on every 5 minutes, no matter what station I was listening to. I finally started answering the announcer back:
"Did you know that every pack of cigareetes you smoke can take a day off your life?"
Me: (lighting up an American Spirit and inhaling deeply) Is that ALL? Damn, I guess, I'm gonna have get up to two packs a day.
Announcer: Now with our revolutionary new product, quitting smoking is easy!
Me: Yeah, I've quit 4 or 5 hundred times myself.
I have since discovered the joy of Colorado Public Radio, a truely magnificent boon to any who must venture across the state line. It has relay towers all over the state and comes in loud and clear even on the passes or the most desolate strech of road between nowhere and nowhere. You can listen to Vivaldi or Beethoven for 500 miles and no one harasses you about smoking either.
