Putting the astounding medical achievement aside, this brings back major memories for me.

As a Canadian kid who watched this commercial over and over again during my afternoon cartoons, I can personally attest to the fact that every kid from my generation grew up annoying their parents by saying constantly screaming "burnt toast...I smell burnt toast!"

There are no pain receptors in the brain.

I'll admit, I did find this commercial slightly amusing when I was a kid. So did my family. But at that time, I didn't know anyone who had epilepsy or even what it was. Until I met my husband, who DOES have epilepsy. It burns my ass when people laugh, mock him while he's having a seizure, and say, "Can you smell 'burnt toast?'" Nothing funny about this commercial now.
