Hobson's Choice

Big Pharma
Surreality alert: today I felt like I informercial star. Eleanor may have a career in advertising since despite never having seen an informercial, she had it downpat in marketing her amazing new drugs to the world around our front porch.
What is her amazing new drug? It's called "Bubblegum Flavor," and it's a lotion dispensed from a plastic phone. You can either use it as a lotion or a toothpaste. When you're at the beach, you can rub it on your face. It turns your face blue, and you must take a nap until your face goes back to normal. It has healed Big Big Bird (the sickest stuffed animal in our house) of all his ailments. The small stuffed bug known as Buggy originally found "Bubblegum Flavor" to be "stingy," but she has since refined the formula. Buggy now likes it.
And like all great marketers,she had a tie-in product (I'm sure if you called right now, she would include it at no additional cost). What is it? "Tongue-flavored Bubble Gum"
