Punch Druggie – No Punch Backs!



Here is a fun and exciting game the entire family can play – and it’s free.

As you are watching your favorite television programs, wait for a prescription drug commercial to come on. The first person to recognize the commercial as being for a prescription drug yells “punch druggie – no punch backs!” and punches everyone else playing playfully in the upper arm. Then, they go to the NJ Attorney General’s website at:

and look up how expensive that drug is per dose in your area (or, if you are not from NJ, use the Zip Code 07012 – my old home town.) The person who calls out the most expensive list of drugs that night is the winner!


Strategy Hints: Be on the lookout for adverts for ‘Daddy's Little Helper’ drugs. Shouting PUNCH-DRUGGIE ! for a Viagra commercial (at $18.25 per dose) is like putting down ‘Quartzy’ in Scrabble on a double word score.

By the way, this is what over a thousand dollars worth of Viagra looks like. I bet it isn't Viagra users happily singing in that commercial - it's Pfizer executives !
