This line was used in Vick's cough syrup TV commercials during the 1980s. Peter Bergman, who played a doctor on "The Young and the Restless," first uttered the phrase. Legend has it that federal regulators decided that having a TV doctor in the commercials was perceived by the public as a real doctor endorsing the product, thus the famous line was born.
