A Deep Breath Of Lame Air

So there's this commercial where a guy gets on an elevator, and then lots of other, presumably annoying people get on after him. It is an understandably frustrating situation, and his response is to pop a Halls cough drop into his mouth, which results in everyone else being flung away and squished into the walls of the elevator. Um, what? I thought the purpose of Halls was to soothe a sore throat or help with coughing, not make your breath so noxious that the people in the immediate vicinity are completely incapacitated and rendered two dimensional. Stupid.

Its possible that he was getting ready to gas the elevator and popped a Halls to mask the smell. Not sure the Halls could have been any better for those involved in wall smashing.

Not the same anonymous as earlier fyi

I have been in situations where I wish I could have had a Hall's to mask the smell of all the other elevator passengers.
