Okay, you know those Robax ads? They have these funny little puppets, that suddenly double over with back pain, and to show what the pain feels like, they have needles in the puppet's backs. Well, when I was little I actually thought that Robax wasn't medication, I thought it was these needles you bought that you could put in your back and that it hurt to put them in but when you took them out your back pain was gone. It made me very grateful to still be a young energetic healthy kid who didn't have to deal with things like back pain.
