Signs of the Times, Part II

Seen on the neighborhood Wal-Green's flashing LED sign:

FREE FLAVORING ON SELECT PRESCRIPTIONS

  1. Could it refer to children's prescription meds?

  2. Our Walgreens has that on the sign too!

    And yes, flavoring on certain disgusting children's meds costs more. Probably the same for people who can't take pills for whatever reason.

  3. My dad always insisted medicine should taste bad. But I kind of liked cough syrup. Heh.

  4. My dad always insisted medicine should taste bad.

    My dad insisted on treating scrapes and cuts with mercurochrome. We called it "sting-medicine".

  5. The wife and I are taking this new vitamin anitoxidant from Shacklee that is supposed to give the same positive effect as 3,000 glasses of wine. And it tastes great, a spoonfull tastes like the best jelly sandwich you ever had. I don't know if it works but it is sure worth trying.

  6. Trooper: Anti-oxidants don't store well in the body, so I'll bet that 2,999 of those doses poop out.

  7. That's a real problem with vitamins: What does your body absorb? You can't store the water soluble much--but you're supposed to stay hydrated which washes the water soluble vitamins out--yeesh.

  8. Hey I like pooping. Not as much as Titus but it is the best thing for you.
