Chantix - Slow Turkey - Commercials I Hate!

Anything creepier than this CG turkey? I guess it's (seriously) less creepy than Ray Liotta.

I think the "Slow Turkey" commercial is actually pretty good. Lots of artistic talent went into the production. Other than the usual gibberish of see your doctor if you have mental illness. Its relaxful.

There's a sucker born every minute.

I used Chantix, broke out in a horrible rash on the side of my face, had to go to the doctor for a steroid shot. Lovely dreams though.

If quitting has traditionally been called, cold turkey, shouldn't this ad be called Hot Turkey?

I think the commercial is hilarious but not in the way they intended. To me the turkey reminds me of hallucinations and "waking nightmares" from the commercial below.
Because of course a turkey would be mowing your lawn.

I think I've posted this before but it applies, so here it is again. One of my favorites.

Saturday Night Live Chantix commercial.

On a related note, I quite many years ago. It was hard, but it can be done and it was worth it.

Congratulations Thor!
Regarding tempting fate, yeah that's one of the biggest hurdles. It's like a pizza commercial. You're sitting around, not thinking about pizza, until there it is gooey cheese and all, in HD, and suddenly you find yourself grabbing the phone and ordering a pizza.

So with cigarettes, what worked for me is not to entertain the thought. Break the mental habit. I would go take a walk and breathe the fresh air - that helped. Put a little incense out in the air. Remember how nasty cigarettes smell - hair, clothing, breath. (Because kissing a smoker is not sexy). I would change the thought to how good healthy food (for instance fruit) would smell or taste. One trick is to take something nasty from cigarettes (like filters or butts or a dirty ashtray) and put water in it to make it even grosser, and put it next to a fresh-air window as a reminder of how I don't want to smell.

I had a few smoking dreams over the years that were so realistic I wasn't sure I hadn't smoked!

It's been a great decision to stay stopped. I was in my twenties and could barely breathe from being a heavy smoker and thought, oh this isn't right. Back then everyone smoked so I just went with the herd. Quit and never regretted it a single day.

Anybody ever do the turkey neck gag at the family get together? Embarrassed

Before my parents died, we were a crazy bunch of adult children! I had 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

Ever wonder where the wish bone was?

The wishbone is the forked chest bone found in any bird. Its odd shape is formed from the fusion of the bird's two clavicles, commonly known as collarbones, at the base of its sternum. It's situated between the bird's neck and chest.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do.

It all makes sense now...

Hey! I resemble that remark!

RKellyWolf sez, "No...but having said that, want to know where MY 'wish bone' is?"
