Such a proud legacy.

Surprisingly—or not surprisingly—I can't find any of the new Bayer Advanced commercials on YouTube. I wonder if they're not available because Bayer knows how fraudulent they are. For several years now they have tried to present Bayer aspirin as a cure for a heart attack. Ridiculous, of course. I am sure that studies have shown it's wise to take an aspirin at the first sign of an attack, but Bayer—through their commercials—would have you believe it will prevent or stop an attack in its tracks. An utterly dishonest and dangerous claim by a company famous for its deceptive practices. I like to remind people that Bayer is more famous for making poison. They got their toxic start in Germany with the manufacture and sale of heroin among other products, and later were very profitable from creating the gas used in the holocaust, Most Americans don't seem to know that. The company later changed hands, but I don't think morals.They still deal in killing more than curing. True, now it's insects and fleas, but what choice do they have? So while they can't make a killing literally as they once did, they do it other ways with insane inflated prices. Anyone with a dog or cat will appreciate how over-priced Advantage is. Homeowners will be forking over profiteer prices for Bayer products designed for lawn care, weed care and pest control. But I guess we have to overlook their greed and their shameful past. After all they did develop a cure for heart attacks.
