Issac Asimov used to tell the story that when he came here as a child from Russia, one of the first things he saw was a billboard that said “Eat too much? Drink too much? Pepto Bismol!”
It blew his mind that he was entering a country where a) it was even possible to eat or drink too much, b) that it was a problem, and c) that it was a big enough problem there was something you could take for it.
