Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼No, I had never heard or seen this ANACIN ad campaign, which dates to the ‘60s. I figured it out through crosses, and when I looked up the television commercials I found that they were shrill enough to drive a person to the medicine cabinet (or liquor, whichever is closer). It’s a brilliant maneuver, making an ad that itself creates the need for the product in the ad. Like a guy selling Band-Aids on the corner tripping you so you skin your knees. Fortunately we just don’t live in that kind of world anymore. Are you gnashing your teeth? Stop that, I’m not a dentist.
