I was out shopping with Neil last night, picking up a few things at the local pharmacy.
Since I had Gravol on my list, and had already been tasked with picking out an appropriate bubble bath for his new soaker tub, I asked him to run and grab some for me.
He picks up the Gravol, throws it in the basket, we check out and go home.
So imagine my surprise when I actually looked at the package and saw something was not quite right with the wording. Check out the picture and see if you can figure it out.
His response when I pointed out his error? To laugh maniacally and say “Good luck with that!” of course. Jackass.
At least there wasn’t an urgent need for the medication, and I can return them for something a little more appropriate.
In the meantime, all either one of us has to do is utter the word “Gravol” and we burst out laughing uncontrollably. So those weirdos busting a gut over there about absolutely nothing? That’s us. Nothing to be alarmed about, just carry on with your business.

Nice! I caught the tail end of the gravol story earlier, but didn’t really hear what was going on. It makes much more sense now

Speaking from experience here: when you really, really, urgently need Gravol, those ones may be the only ones that work, because the regular ones won’t stay down. They exist for a reason.
Then again, if you’re taking them to have a more comfortable and sleepier car trip or something, it may be going a bit overboard.

[grin] Thanks for the chuckle — As soon as I saw the ‘pill’ on the box, I knew what was, er, up.
Too funny!

The kids on the Laurier swear by a pill called “Bonamine.”
Apparently it doesn’t kick your ass as hard as Gravol does, and holds the puke down.
