Oh, man. Timing is everything. This is better than gum. This is better than energy bars. Today we were given Advil Liqui-gels when coming out of Embarcadero Station.
While we're uncertain as to the legality of handing out even OTC medicine, it's like an answered prayer, 'cuz we woke up with a hell of a headache. Even if we'd have preferred Tylenol. Or Tylenol with codeine.
Mmmm, analgesics. Mmmm, free stuff.



Wooo, those Advil liqui-gels are 1,000 times better than the awful Atkins breakfast bars that have been thrust into my unsuspecting hands at the Montgomery Station! Remember the good ol' Boom days of fun free schwag like baseballs and mousepads and brownies??
I've heard some of these promotional teams for things like Starbucks and Advil intentionally place themselves in neighborhoods where they think they'll find the largest percentage of hung-over, out-last-night people who need a little help to get through that next morning at work. Yeah, marketers are evil that way.
Oops, I didn't mean Starbucks, but rather the makers of that caffeine-strip thing.
Think about it. If you're really hurting, paying for last night the morning after, and someone helps you out unexpectedly? You're gonna remember.
Don't forget the $2 coupon on the back of it. And if you rub off those silver spots on the front, you can win something ... like a $2 off coupon ...
whee.
