    I don’t know. They always put it in the pharmaceutical commercials that are only legal in the U.S. and New Zealand.

        People, Americans anyway, are very good at doing what the TV tells them to do, which always makes me wonder how often doctors are plagued with patients saying, “Doctor, is Phabulux right for me?” Completely out of the blue and unrelated to whatever they’re at the doctor about.
