In a Mucinex commercial that aired last night during the Super Bowl, a young man in his bathrobe speaks hoarsely into the phone: “Yeah, I got this … uh … thing,” he says, coughing into his arm. “And I’m not gonna make it to work today.”
Up walks a slimy green blob representing “Mr. Mucus,” who gasps: “You aren’t really sick. You were just up late watching the game. You faker!”
Across the screen flashes this warning: “#SuperSickMonday is coming.”
