RUMOR: Caserio coming back to New England after draft?

[Joker]

LOL, no, no weapon required. I meant you have to go to the counter and request the "real" tylenol, sudafed, etc. They usually ask for your license and I'm assuming they track how often you buy it. The normal stuff on the shelf I guess varies strength-wise from the stuff they have back there, so whenever I have a bad cold (long before Covid), I go back there and ask for the "real" sudafed and that's usually the procedure.

That stuff tends to do the trick, while the normal stuff doesn't work quite as well. I'll defer to the doctors and pharmacists we have in here who can probably elaborate a little further on this.

the reason they do that ,Ian is because it contains ephedrine, a precursor in the manufacture of methamphetamine. People used to go into the drugstores and buy all the Sudafed or other meds with ephedrine in it to use in the illegal manufacture of meth. It is what it is these days...
