An Ode to the Sinus Rinse

Animation: Me

I’ve had sinus problems ever since I was in secondary school.

I’ve tried remedies from anti-histamines, and acupuncture to hot garlic-ginger drinks. None of them really turn out to be long-term solutions to the problem.

I’ve been using a sinus rinse squeeze bottle(almost daily) for the past year. I’d say that it has really kept my allergies at bay.

This is the brand I use. In case you might need it.


I’ve always wanted to work on one of those old-school Colgate commercials where they zoom into the bacteria in your gums and some magic XXX-ingredient zaps them to death.

Nobody has hired me for that job (yet!). So, I thought this would be an apt occasion to create this animated “commercial” for the trusty Sinus Rinse bottle.

Note: The green stuff is real! Sometimes, they get washed out as a thick green blob in the sink.

Thanks for reading! If you have allergies too, subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. You can also visit my website for more of me!
