Nothing like a home remedy to rid yourself of unsightly growths like acrochordons. Ah, fear marketing at it's finest. Kids will say the darndest things {imagine a significant other with the same line, "Ewwwwwwwww!"} and everyone knows that skin tag isn't getting any smaller, but luckily there's an OTC remedy in the first aid section of the drugstore. While I don't think this ad is annoying or offensive enough to become a bonafide "fail," we can always hope. In a way, I think it's effective in getting its point across. This thread shows genuine interest in the product and the problem it solves. A quick scan of Twitter found only a few tweets, but these are good ones::
@JessieLeaM Has anyone else seen this commercial : Dr. Scholl's Skin Tag Remover...Ha, seriously...
@EricOrchard I'd like to have a transcript of the meeting at Dr. Scholes when they were working on the marketing of "SkinTag Remover"
@KyleJemison Is it just me or is the dr. Scholl's skin tagremover the most disgusting thing ever that shouldn't be allowed to advertise??!!
In the '70s, I remember those Wisk ads where the clothes taunted people with the chant, "Ring around the collar!"::
So, you want to see skin tag removal extreme style. Of course you do::
Twitterversion:: Dr.Scholl'sSkinTagRemover ads—laughable fear marketing attempt, but just might be effective. Bonus: Xtreme removal clip! @Prof_K
Song:: KT Tunstall-"Saving My Face"

I remember watching those Wisk ads when I was a little kid. I used to squint at the TV and try to figure out what "ring around the collar" was. I didn't see any rings. I still don't to be honest. But the shirt they show after it's been washed with Wisk looks like it just came out of a plastic bag and still has all the pins and cardboard in it. Hmmm.
I hate myself for clicking on the extreme skin tag removal video.
