My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.
Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.

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.
Well I can buy a pack of 16 in Tesco for £0.39
So we're actually paying pretty close to the same amount per pill, just in smaller packs.

Here in the UK you can't buy more than two packs at a given time...
You also have to have a license for tv…
For live TV, perhaps they should change its name to subscription because that's basically what it is at the end of the day.
The shocking part is, the whole bottle is like $2.

Burger: No wrong way to swallow, feels more legit on the 'ol tongue, twice the quantity of "value size"
Why would ever need that many??
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.

For people looking for a reason for large bottles other than less frequent purchases. Large bottles with many pills produces less waste than the same number of pills in multiple containers.
Hot dog goes down easier. I find it easier to swallow a weenie shape than a ball shape.
The trick is to alternate between the weenie and the balls
Man you have some massive painkiller bottles. Biggest I've seen in a drug store had like 30 tablets
They also use it as full treatment instead of going to the doctors.
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
We are very proud of you. You are doing valuable work

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

ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.
Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol
Just earlier I was reading about NSAIDs and saw this: "There's no evidence that taking ibuprofen with food prevents gastric irritation"
I'm sure I can find the article with citation in my history if you care.
Yeah, what I remember is ibuprofen harms the digestive track.
Oh great news, I take both, well kinda. The ones I take are a combo of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.

I like the kind that comes in a liquid gel cap so it works faster.
Agreed, though the weird alchemy of it makes me less sweaty (but why?)
A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren't in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect... maybe

Be careful taking ibuprofen often it’ll cause issues with your intestines like diverticulitis which landed me in the hospital and has greatly restricted my diet and ability to drink alcohol
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.
So ibuprofen and acetaminophen are weak ass pain killers that do all the damage of alcohol with none of the fun.
As far as my ancestors were concerned I'm supposed to be drunk, chewing willow and maybe having a bit of opium for nap time.
Acetaminophen is quite easier on the kidneys and liver compared to ibuprofen
I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)

Americans may be seeing serious savings in that picture.
I am seeing serious evolutionary pressure on liver genetics.
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.
