Perhaps no pharmaceutical company knick-knack is stranger than objects featuring a “superhero mascot” created by Fleet Pharmaceuticals and dubbed EneMan. (Yes, he is shaped very much like an actual Fleet enema.) EneMan is supposed to promote screening for colorectal cancer…. there are actually poor slobs out there who are hired to don an EneMan suit and go around promoting screening for colorectal cancer or pushing EneMan-related objects on doctors. I saw one of them myself at the American College of Surgeons Meeting in Chicago in 2003. I pity that guy. He did, however, give me some cool EneMan stuff.
(Thanks to investigator Roger Kautz for bringing EneMan to our attention.)
We have not determined whether EneMan has visited or plans to visit the (fairly) new Russian enema statue, of which you can see a video report by clicking here:
