Against all odds, Mr. Mucus has become a bit of an Instagram heartthrob.

Probably the last thing anyone would think of when they think of phlegm is "sex symbol."

Or is it?


Somehow against all odds Mucinex's mascot Mr. Mucus has become a sex symbol on Instagram.

On their Instagram account, the cartoon blob isn't shown. Instead, photos are posted of someone in a costume with a grimace and a blank stare.

While the costume itself isn't sexy, people are still flocking to the comments section to hit on whomever is inside the green mucus in flannel and jeans.

In one video, Mr. Mucus acts out his resolutions.

"In 2023, I’m living my sickest life! Here are my Flu Year’s Resolutions."

In another video Mr. Mucus can be seen dancing by a bonfire.

Apparently, some people think...

...that's hot.

The only thing that might be funnier are the comments.


People were astonished by the Instagram love for Mr. Mucus.









The United Kingdom based company that makes Mucinex, Reckitt Benckiser, hasn't yet commented on the sudden swooning over their mascot.

Until then, lets all enjoy the reactions to this lovable mucus blob.

About 90 million eligible, registered voters didn't bother to vote at all in 2024, while Trump garnered only ~77 million votes, VP Harris received about ~75 million—a difference of only ~2 million which is less than the population of Trump's hometown of Queens, New York City.
