The other day I had a headache and wanted some Advils as the ones I bought in the US in Costco expired. What I should have bought in Costco was low dose aspirin, it's possible I looked for it and they didn't have it, but over a year later who could be 100% sure. Medicines, such as Advil and aspirins and cough medicines can be bought in the Pharmacy section of drug stores. Can you imagine walking into CVS and bothering the pharmacist or their assistant for cough medicine, Advil (any ibuprofen or acetaminophen) or aspirins? Well, my vent of the week is the containers that the Advils come in, they do NOT come in little plastic bottles, rather the old, old school of push tabs. You know, non child safety, just push it through the bubble like pack. It's not convenient to carry in your bag, the box gets tatty and next thing you know you've got these things floating all over your bag. Vitamins however do come in plastic bottles. I just don't get it.
I got these photos from Google, the first photo is what we have here and I dislike very much, the second photo is what I'm used to and what I prefer and to me makes much more sense than the silliness above it. There's no mulitpack, I think the most you can get is 24 in a box. If you suffer much pain you'll go through 24 in a nano-second.
