Why is Pepto pink? If you happen to be shopping at Target and have a burning need to find out, feel free to stop by the pharmacy counter and ask. A new Target commercial promotes its pharmacy business by painting its pharmacists as friendly employees who will happily answer any question a shopper may have, no matter how trivial. Not sure if I quite buy that, but the spot does highlight a service that doesn’t automatically come to mind when you think about the retailer.
