Walter, the Airsupra Dino…
A mini-dinosaur might make an interesting if cumbersome pet, and of course they’d have to be well-behaved! With a name like Walter, this diminutive T-rex sounds rather domesticated, but he’s still awfully big for human environments, and so can barely fit into things like elevators and taxicabs…
Asthma medications haven’t changed much in fifty years, you see, so the albuterol inhaler is really a dinosaur of sorts. Walter is then a metaphor representing older, outdated “rescue” albuterol-only inhalers for asthma that primarily treat symptoms of asthma without addressing underlying inflammation. Airsupra is a “dual-action” inhaler that treats both symptoms and underlying inflammation of asthma…
So Walter is awkward and outdated on tandem bikes, being, after all, a dinosaur. We’re unlikely to see him in any of the Jurassic Park movies either, which is a pity because he does appear genial and is cute…

Funny! I don’t recall them mentioning the name “Walter” in any of the commercials as belonging to the CGI mini-rex. You sure that wasn’t the human owner’s name?

I checked, and the fiercepharma website refers to the Dino’s name as “Walter” although he is not named in the commercials. Here’s a detail I missed; “Walter” is wearing an old-style inhaler chained around his neck!

I thought it ‘d be something behind-the-scenes like that. Btw: speaking of reptiles?
I finally got to see one of the documentaries for Shark Week 2025 on Discovery On Demand. “Jaws Vs. Megacroc.” It was a crock, all right.
A computer-simulated battle using data obtained from various field tests conducted on flesh-and-blood sharks and crocodiles, in New Zealand and a Florida gator farm, respectively. And, just like the series premiere of ANIMAL FACE OFF twenty-one years ago, the shark won. No big surprise, there! Because, for all the hype that goes into these “what if…” scenarios, the supposedly objective scientists keep omitting the one crucial (yet still painfully obvious) factor.
Crocs are air breathers! They can only hold their breath underwater for a limited amount of time. And that limit is reduced with each muscular exertion necessary in any kind of territorial fight to the death. Virtually guaranteeing the victory of the five-gilled great white every single time.
My final score for this special? A sadly well-deserved one star. 😦

Maybe Twittler can stage wildlife battles at the “Alligator Alcatraz,” anticipating “huuuge ratings!” In our next episode, it’s Juan the detainee vs. Wally Gator, the swinging ‘gator of the swamp! 🐊 🙀

Leading to a black market for Wally Gator-skin belts and shoes, most likely.

I tried alligator shoes once, but I could never get the ‘gator to keep them on! 😾🐊

Then, I guess he must have absolutely HATED those polo shirts (with the little golfer on the left lapel)!

You see, there used to be a line of polo/golfer shirts with a crocodile logo on the left lapel. 😉

“Izod,” yes…I always preferred J.C. Penney’s “The Fox” shirts, for obvious reasons… 🦊
