That sounds like a great way to get yourself killed.

Promise?
Tylenol poisoning is a truly awful way to die.
Sounds like a win win to me.
Selection aú naturalè
Grrreat!
Another fun fact if you have to peel the label back to see the dosage, it's actually just dealers choice.
- Buy glass with pills
- Throw meaningless paper in the trash
- Remove label from glass
- Use lid as serving size
- Profit?
That's only for liquid measurements.
You need to squeeze the liquid out of the gelcaps for the actual proper dosage. 🤦♂️

Better dead than minorly uncomfortable
Hey man I'm not dead yet™
I haven’t laughed this much in a long time, thank you
if you press a thumbtack all the way through the lid near the edge, it completely negates the "push to turn" child safety--just open it like a regular bottle
Why though? A childproof lid isn't that difficult to open.
whatever level of difficulty you're defining as "not that difficult" -- remove that, and now it's zero.
that's why
Weak hands can be troublesome. I recently had a ligament repair in my hand, and it does make it difficult/painful. It'll be a few weeks before I have the strength back
LPT: The lids on prescription pill bottles can usually be turned over and used as a cap, removing the child safety aspect. So now I can pop them open with one hand, no need to twist them
Could you not ask the pharmacist to put it in a child-unsafe container instead, in that case?
The containers they give me already have that option, you just flip the lid. I guess I could ask them to flip them for me, but I can still get them open either way... one way is just way easier (aka not child-proof lol)
caps unfortunately do make spillage easier
This is true, and why I normally just use the child-safe side of the lid. But honestly, it fits more securely than I expected and I haven't had an issue.
I wouldn't put them in my bag like that, but I throw them in my bedside drawer willy-nilly and the lids don't budge loose at all. I was pleasantly surprised, because it's a small thing that's made my last couple of weeks a little easier
I honestly didn't even know the lids were designed to be used both ways until just a few years ago. Blew my mind a little cause I thought it to be ingenious, yet so simple. Go figure
I'll have to remember that one. I've just been using a knife to remove the outer shell of the cap.
New chubbyemu video coming up.
Huh, no wonder my kidneys are ossifing.
But
What?
Is this a joke?
I don't get it. Is it just because that would make 1 serve 20 pills or so?
What is equate?
Yes. Yes. Equate is the store brand name for Wal Mart medications. Equate will make equivalent products to Advil, Tylenol, etc but for cheaper.
Equate is the Walmart store brand of medicine
I think equate is artificial sugar
Big pharma doesn't want you to know this one simple trick!
