Afrin Mr. Sniffleupagus Ad (Proposed)
In this proposed ad for Afrin, we see a woman coming home from work to find her husband, suffering from a cold, has become a big furry sniffle monster, Mr. Sniffleupagus. (Or, for a worse cold, he could be Mr. Stuffedupagus.) And he’s got an elephant trunk, like Mr. Snuffleupagus (from Sesame Street), through which we hear him sniffle loudly. And because he’s sick and miserable, he talks all depressed-sounding, like Mr. Snuffleupagus. But his wife, knowing he was sick, brought home some Afrin, and she gives it to him, and he uses it, after which he becomes his old self again, and all is well with the world. (Until the next person gets a cold and becomes Mr. Sniffleupagus, or Mr. Stuffedupagus.)
