There's a new acid reflux medicine out called AcipHex. It's pronounced Ass-Effects. I wonder how you are supposed to take it?

I see Aciphex is back for another go with new commercials. Sorry, I still hear 'Ass effects' whenever I'm not looking directly at the TV.

One of AciPhex's side "effects" is constipation. That's funny.
