Naming the Drug

We were intrigued by an article in the NY Times about how the major drug companies are losing the confidence of the American Public.
That led to our interview this morning with Don Caplet, marketing director of Spende-Popper, one of the lesser known drug giants.
Don said our skepticism was actually an illness, and wouldn’t you know … Spende-Popper has a new drug to deal with it … a little orange pill called “Trustimax,” which promotes “unconditional trust.”

Personally, I think much of the power in these drugs rises out of the name and how convincing it is. Some of the other Spende-Popper drugs are:

Banflab - (it encourages you to talk to your doctor)
Neutra-Chump - (it neutralizes your inner chump)
Perplex - (it settles the queasy effects of conflicting news sources)
Spanpax. (it helps you feel better about absolutely everything).

The company doesn’t spend anything on research, so if you have an idea for a nifty drug, they might use it!
