| − | '''HeadOn''' is a fad based on a commercial about a so-claimed headache curing medicine called HeadOn. The commercial consisted of a woman repeatedly saying "HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead!" Despite, or perhaps because of how annoying the commercial of HeadOn was, it became an internet [[meme]] and later a fad on YTMND. The first person who made a HeadOn YTMND is unknown.

| − | == The Product ==
| + | |
| − | HeadOn is a product that was made by Miralus Healthcare at the time of the advertisements (and currently made by Sirvision, inc). It was meant to relieve headaches, a fact not mentioned in the commercial, probably because it doesn't actually relieve headaches: HeadOn uses homeopathy, which is no more effective than a placebo.

| − | == The Commercial ==
| + | |
| − | In 2006, HeadOn began advertising their product with a simple commercial: A woman, standing in front of a (depending on the version) blue or green grid background, applying the product directly to the forehead as a female voice repeats "HeadOn, apply directly to the forehead!" then saying it was available at pharmacies. That was the entire commercial.

| − | Naturally, the internet began to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dDe39iqKIU&feature=related make fun of it]. One of these places was YTMND, which was no doubt attracted by the mindless repetition of one phrase over and over.
