- Sharon,
- I have not seen this commercial yet but I am on the lookout for it
- and I have my mother-in-law looking also. Do you remember when you saw
- it.? Sometimes this helps in pinning down when it might be shown again.
- Maybe it was local only (although Excedrin is a national company). I
- would be interested in knowing on what program you saw it. Again, a
- good blind guess would be Psyclone because of the Hollywood thing (they
- usually shoot commercials in that area). If or when I find it and can
- identify it, I will repost more information.
