[blparent] Has anybody heard these Learn More 924 commercials onthe radio?

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Yes, at least the commercials I have heard are definitely Vanda. Vanda gave
a presentation at our state convention, and I am 99 percent sure that the
phone number and website they gave at the convention are the same as those
given on the commercial.

These commercials are running very often here, but do we know if this is
Vanda?
