Radio Commercial for Alka-Seltzer Plus

On January 8, 1998 the following described commercial was heard on radio station WFLA 970 AM in Tampa, Florida. The commercial uses an elephant's trumpet sound to illustrate how bad a head cold can be and promotes the Alka-Seltzer Plus brand of cold medication for relief. Undoubtedly they chose the ELEPHANT for the absurdity and humor in the idea of an elephant having a cold in the trunk and because elephants are memorable.
