Head On!
We saw this on TV and wanted to snag it. Then we stopped watching TV. Luckily, someone else had the frame of mind to video tape this bizarre commercial for a headache relief stick that you, well, apply directly to forehead.
Buy some here. Buy some here. Buy some here. Buy some here.
It's almost as good as this inane Pennysaver commercial that enthralls the listener through hypnotism.

The power of repetition. We're filled with an uncontrollable urge to go find some pennies right now.

There's no statement of what the product does, because the FDA won't let them make such statements. I think they used to include medical claims in their ads (it's easy to find such claims still hanging around on sites that sell the stuff), and it's the FDA's intervention that's resulted in the current surreal ads.
The product is actually supposed to be an extra-strength headache stopper, suitable for use by migraine sufferers. Regrettably, it's utterly worthless.








"It's safe! And it really works!" ohhhh...that phrase cracked me up enough times that I actually bought some Head-On. Disappointingly, it's actually just like mild Vick's Vapo-Rup, but it does sort of help headaches.
...You also have to wonder if earlier versions of the product had even less-enticing taglines: "It's dangerous! And completely ineffective!"
