Khloé Kardashian’s Migraine Pill Commercials Will Haunt Me Until I Die
I just recently learned that my apartment is haunted. The building is less than two decades old, but still, when I put head to pillow at night—just when I’m about to slip into the last iota of unconsciousness my brain needs to fully fall asleep—I am often confronted with a familiar vocal fry purring in my ear: “I just heard something amazing!”
I’ve been through this routine before, and I know how to handle it. I respond, “Was it that, for the first time, one medication was approved to treat and prevent migraines?” This is the only way to quell this particular specter, who comes to me every moment that I am about to have even a second of meditative peace. Like with Rumplestiltskin, I have to name this dastardly villain to keep my family and me free from harm. Her name? Khloé Kardashian.
For nearly two years, I have been followed by the version of Khloé that lives trapped inside the Nurtec ODT Migraine Pill ads. She comes to me whenever I hear a new song that I like or get a piece of good news. My sister is going to have a baby? “I just heard something amazing!” There’s a new Charli XCX song? “I just heard something amazing!” New photos of Lee Pace with a nipple-framing pocket just dropped? “I just heard something amazing!”
