Emmy-winning writer Danny Deraney came up with his own ads for Walgreens based on the meme.
Danny Deraney listed the following ads.
“Al Green’s Walgreens ads:
Love and Happiness (courtesy of Prozac).
Take me To The Walgreens
Let’s Stay Together 6 Feet Apart
For The Goodtimes 12 pack of Budweiser only 7.99
For Valentine’s Day, say you are Still In Love With You with a box of Hershey Chocolates.”

Some people joked that they are going to stop calling Walgreens by its name and will only refer to the popular store and pharmacy as Al Greens!
Some are even suggesting that Al Green should start doing ads for Walgreens! The meme has become so popular, many people are saying they will never look at Walgreens the same or won’t be able to enter one of their stores without humming an Al Green tune to themselves!
Others said they found it amazing that Al Green was the one who tweeted the photo.
What do you think about the meme? Should Walgreens hire Al Green for their next ad?
