Pill Packaging

[Vince]

I've never had much to rant about, but sometimes these drug companies just piss me off. They package pills in the dayum one by one sealed things and you actually need a knife to get one little pill out. Or they put them in a bottle with sealed plastic on the outside, then another seal after you open the cap and finally the stupid piece of cotton on the inside to take up space. What a waste of money and we have to pay for it.

I know it's dumb, but I needed to vent.

If you'll recall, some ass wipe poisoned a random selection of Excedrin bottles a few years ago and that's why they're triple sealed

There is a name for that: it's called wrap rage.

My wrap rage is not about pills that come out of a bottle. It's about pills that come in boxes. I bought generic Imodium last month. Obviously, you do not have the time to be prying pills out of their package when you're rushing to take anti-diarrheal meds.

Yeah, I'm talking about those as well. Pill packaging. I have wrap rage.

Why not? Biting your tongue is just not fun.

So, you're saying he's not wrapped too tight?

The Zyrtec 5 tab packs has to be one of the worst. Sealed outside package, 5 individual wrapped tabs. Tear here, nope doesn't work, get scissors, pull apart the plastic and you still have to punch the little pill out of the foil protective cover.

I hate Frontline packaging. This hard plastic outer package that you have to cut around, although they say you can pull the foil from the plastic, which is a LIE.

I usually end up using a pocket knife on the packaging for dayquil liquigels.
