Netflix name-dropped Zepbound and my ears perked up

I was folding towels last night with the TV on, and a character on some new show said Zepbound like it was just another word. I sat straight up. My husband asked if I was okay, and I said, 'They said my prescription.' 😂 We live in a tiny town, so my local pharmacy knows me by name.

The pharmacist there has been kind about the insurance dance, and I still get a little nervous every time I see a prior auth envelope in the mailbox. Seeing it pop up in a script felt odd—like the thing I used to whisper about at the counter is suddenly a punchline on a couch.

Not offended, just weirdly seen. Has anyone else caught a GLP-1 name in a show and had that split-second 'wait, what?' moment?

Also, tell me I'm not the only one who rewinds just to make sure I heard it right.
