Dear Bayer,

 

My doctor and I think I should be on a Bayer aspirin regimen. But after seeing your latest commercials, I’ve had a change of heart. Sure, your acetylsalicylic acid pills seemed like a great way to maintain great cardiac health. That was until I heard the shocking fact that Bayer aspirin can prevent 1 in 3 heart attacks. My question to you is: how do I stop the other 2?

 

If I take Bayer aspirin every day, I obviously will not have all three of my heart attacks, as your television ads state. But if I abstain altogether, does this mean I will definitely have all three? Or is this your way of covering up the fact that Bayer causes two? And moreover, how did you figure out that I am going to have three heart attacks? Please, in the spirit of good health, let me know if there is an aspirin regimen currently on the market that can prevent 2, or even all 3, of my cardiac arrests. If not I suppose taking Bayer is better, so I can only have 2. Do you know when they will be?

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Kevin Dickinson

They took me seriously. But how else could they respond?
