I loathe this advert and the newer ones for Numans (various products) which are staged like a musical. All drive me nuts!

The point of an advertisement is to get people talking about the product.
Here we are talking about it, job done.

Me and my husband always raise our eyebrows at one another.

That said, we’ve also had a discussion about how much stuff it treats! I suppose it’s similar to milk of magnesia?

I work in retail and sales of Peptobismol have increased so the advert is working smile

As you mentioned it, so it came to my ear. It is so important to read the instructions carefully on it. My very elderly father ended up in hospital because he thought it was some sort of raspberry drink...........I won't say anymore, short of I had to take it away from him.
