Mucinex is a medication that helps break up and remove chest congestion. We’ve seen gross ads for it about cartoon character phlegm living in someone’s lungs and then getting expelled due to Mucinex. It’s pretty gross, but seeing as how it’s already an ad campaign, how about classing it up a bit (to the extent that it can be classed up) by making the characters a bit more literary? So I give you a classic literary Mucinex advert: Great Expectorations.
Pip Phlegm is a young man of insubstantial means with nary a hope of getting out of the one-horse town where he lives, apprenticing for a blacksmith inside someone’s lungs. (The pollution from the forge is what makes the person have a cough, I suppose.) But in his own private time, Pip Phlegm dreams of getting out of the lungs where he lives and seeing the world someday. Oh, but one fine day, our young hero Pip gets a visit from a very distinguished phlegmatic character, a lawyer, who tells Pip he has a benefactor who will help him get out of this lung and see the world, and that Pip is a young Phlegm of Great Expectorations. Well, it turns out that Mucinex is Pip’s secret benefactor, and in no time flat, the expectorant in Mucinex causes Pip to leave the forge in the small lung he’s called home, and finally venture forth toward his destiny and Great Expectorations, just as he always dreamed of doing! And when you have phlegm personages you wish to liberate from your lungs, get them a benefactor to get them out and off into Great Expectorations, with Mucinex, the bronchial and breathing benefactor!
Here is an example of the Mucinex phlegm ads (They are clever, but also gross!):
