Gross!

I am taking a break from the baby madness to share on something totally different. Mexico has some of the grossest commercials ever. During the morning news, it seems like about 75% percent (seriously) of all the commercials are for drugs or treatments of some kind. And about half of those are graphic and disturbing in some way. Here are a few favorites. And you don't need to know Spanish to be grossed out..

Cough medicine. We almost all need it at some point in life. One way it can work is by making your cough more, er, productive. Is that not clear enough? Then this commercial should help explain the process.


Here's a good one... it's for an athlete's foot medication. They did a clever reality-show style commercial, inviting people to compete for having the worst case of athlete's foot. YUM.


And, just so you don't think this grossness is totally limited to medications, etc., check out this commercial for Pedigree dog food! It helps your dog to be regular. If you don't believe it, just look at the evidence.

    You are so right! Oh-my-God!!! The first time I saw the athlete foot medicine ad I was intrigued, but when I saw the REAL feet, full of...fungus or whatever, oh my, I zapped so fast...And you can see them at lunch time and dinner time, great for losing your appetite in like 20 seconds! HA!! On the other hand, what about the special sneaker shoes that make you slim in like not time ¿? They even improve women's bust line... what the heck!!!

    As gross as those commercials are, do you have to endure the never ending barrage of "erectile dysfunction" ads like we do here in the states?

      We do have them, believe it or not! But, they are slightly less annoying because they don't run as often and they don't have all those fascinating disclaimers at the end. Ha!

    Particularly that little four hour deal that requires immediate medical attention.
