Mucinex Nightshift—the first OTC cold and flu nighttime product in the United States with triprolidine HCI—is the focus of the Mucinex No Regrets campaign, which invites consumers to make good choices at night for better mornings.
To remind consumers of the multi-symptom cold and flu relief Mucinex Nightshift provides, the Reckitt cough and cold brand teamed up with Tinder. Throughout cold and flu season, and cuffing season, Mucinex mascot Mr. Mucus will have an "ick-inducing dating profile" on Tinder. On the profile, Mr. Mucus is putting himself out there with cringe-worthy phrases like "I'm the catch of the day… if you like catching cold and flu symptoms!"
What's more, TV host, producer and model Kamie Crawford, who is the spokesperson for the Mucinex No Regrets campaign, will be going on a blind date with Mr. Mucus.
