Heh you guys have sex toy advertisements on the radio? Were too prude for that in the US, instead we have prescription drug ads everywhere.

Speaking of the syllable dartboard, one of my favourite buzzfeed style quizzes from back when everyone was still doing them was called

PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE OR LORD OF THE RINGS CHARACTER

I'm pretty sure five or so people out of thousands got all of them right 😂

But we have a huge market for snake oil

Yep. I had a very bad cough years ago, and couldn't sleep. My doctor asked if I'm interested in homeopathy. I laughed so hard that I started coughing really violently, and walked home with a codeine prescription that helped me over that flu.

Ask your doctor if snake oil is right for you!

Y'all don't hear ads for stuff like Adam & Eve? Here in Texas we have ads for drugs and sex toys lol

Drugs and sex toys are very Christian /s 😂

Reminds me of the states most common porn searches one year, where incest was top result in Utah. I think it was top a few years in a row.

I've seen/heard a few ads for them, but it's not really common. Also I rarely listen to the radio anymore.

Sex toys? Blasphemy! Killing yourself with prescriptions? Perfectly fine!

Side effects may include shitting yourself in public, a horrible lingering stench that you can't get rid of, eyeballs popping out, ears flapping, nose elongation, heart attack, stroke, and death. As your doctor about it today!
