Well but you do get health care with that, so instead of treating symptoms with ever larger doses of increasingly potent painkillers you have hopes of a more structural solution.

Would you rather buy 15 pills for $15 or 500 pills for the same price? That's why we buy the mega bottles.

The shocking part is, the whole bottle is like $2.

When you buy a bottle of 1000 for around 15 bucks, and it lasts you a decade.... Amazing!

Advil is the main brand name for this. I always buy a bottle and other pills when I'm in the US. It is way more than I need but what I like is all the US pills look different. I always have a little mixed bottle of Advil, Pepto Bismol (fixes everything stomach related), anti-histamine pills... with me for when I need them. You can mix them all together and still tell the difference between them. That's what I don't like about the European blister packs of unidentifable white pills. That and I hate blister packs. It is also cheaper to buy a bottle. But to be clear, I get like a bottle of 50 or 100. Advil is also enteric coated so it is better for your stomach and tastes better (it's slightly sweet).

Came here to say the same thing, like WTF, why would you need a jar of 500

But the blister packs we get can’t be tampered with 🤷‍♂️

Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol

Agreed, though the weird alchemy of it makes me less sweaty (but why?)

Also damage your stomach and your kidneys if you abuse them daily long enough time.

People pop those like M&Ms and not realize that prescription free drugs are still drugs with all their side effect.

Rip your kidneys and liver.

The trick is to alternate between the weenie and the balls

It's for the arthritis I get from constantly fucking posting memes. At this point I'm wondering if I have a life; I can't imagine what you guys think

They also use it as full treatment instead of going to the doctors.

I buy mine from the bulk store bc it's like the same price for 500 pills vs 30 from a normal drug store. I never finish them before the expiration, but whatever

Nah, Americans are seeing a slight dulling of the pain to get through the day.

Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain't no safety net to catch ya when your name whatever hurts and needed surgery a decade ago.

Take your pain killers and caffeine and get to work you lazy scum.

You're thinking acetaminophen

Inflammation pain that doctors won't fucking help with. Buy in bulk and then you won't run out for a year or so.

Relief is temporary. Pain is forever.

To give to trick or treaters.

Liver damage

This is just for the weekend

Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
