On one hand, sulfa and antifreeze WOULD kill whatever disease was in you. So that would be good.
On the other hand, it did it by killing the patient, 120 times over. That was definitely bad.

I pretty much do not like any ad campaigns about feces. "We all go. Why not enjoy the go?" I really don't want to hear about it when I am having dinner.
I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner, and after 42 years on the job, I am sick of talking about poop. Once I retire, I am never discussing it again, except at the vet's office.

(16,932 posts)There was an urban legend that he died shortly after the Life commercial was made and it's not true. He grew up and is in media advertising now. The Life commercial used his real house and real kitchen for the ad and the other actors were his siblings. He doesn't remember a thing about it. He remains puzzled over how he became so iconic for such a short spot where he didn't even have any lines.
