EXCEDRIN: TAX AUDIT {YOUNG & RUBICAM AWARD
WINNERS: FIFTIES AND SIXTIES}

Summary

In this commercial for Excedrin, a man meets with his accountant to prepare his tax return. Unfortunately, he gets "Excedrin Headache No. 1040" in the process. Fortunately, he carries a bottle of Excedrin around with him for relief from headaches like these, but his accountant doesn't think a medical deduction for a year's consumption of Excedrin is legal. The announcer adds that Excedrin's formula gives quick and long-lasting relief, and contains a tension reliever and an anti-depressant. Slogan (supered): "Excedrin. The extra strength pain reliever."
