pollen count has to be through the stratosphere, nose like a faucet, literally feeling the secretory machinery working in real time, so i did the rescue snorter
we are now in the magic moment when 1. effectiveness hasn’t kicked in yet, symptoms continue at five-alarm blaze 2. trying to resist blowing my nose, since there’s medicine in it 3. currently emanating from the back of my throat is the worst taste i have ever tasted 💀
this snorter is from Bausch + Lomb, and i’m sure they spent money and time trying to make it taste a bit less like the dewy hinter crevice of the devil; alas
here’s what’s weird. the brand name is Vividrin and the brand color (barely a brand palette) clearly supports a positioning as vivid:
speaking as a healthcare brand strategist—alhough admittedly primary care is not my wheelhouse—i gotta say this positioning absolutely mystifies me, because. like. vivid what? vivid what, motherfucker? vivid eau de parfum du cul rance de diable noyé dans un égout?
(ftr it is somewhat effective. one is not Fine but using it is better than not using it. i’m also on oral desloratadine so this is all theoretically “breakthrough” symptoms but tbh i don’t think the oral is doing jack shit)
