The other day I was screwing around on the Internet and I had the TV on in the background.  Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a Triaminic commercial that looked really familiar.  I knew I had seen it before but I also knew I had never actually seen it on TV.  I turned up the volume and watched carefully.  I could not figure out how I could possibly recognize a brand new TV commercial.  What was really weird was that the ad was only 15 seconds long but I was sure I remembered it being longer.  About 20 minutes later it finally hit me.  I had seen the Triaminic ad on Poptent.  I checked the site and the video was created by Poptent’s Super-Salesmen “Bisbinetts” (AKA Joe) for a Triaminic assignment from 2010!  I guess Triaminc liked the ad and decided to hold on to it until the 2011 cough and cold season started.  I haven’t seen many user-generated ads on TV this year so good for Triaminic for running Joe’s spot.  Here’s the 30 second version:
