I was just killing time in CVS while waiting on a prescription. I
happen to be wondering down an isle that had pain reliever. Every
single brand and every single box I saw was marked "extra strength"

That is what I try to get. When I get a headache I don't want to go
for a strength that "might" work

For many years, it seemed like all paper grocery bags
were printed with the words "double strength",
presumably to allieviate the consumer of any concern
that it might be necessary to double-bag the goods.

Just checking now, I don't see that printed on any bags
around here. I guess the supermarkets finally won
that particular war against the consumer.

You're in the wrong store for pain relievers, two stores down is
Loomis' Liquor Depot.

Cracks me up. A number 10 aspirin requires a prescription. A five
doesn't. Take two fives. Same thing with other pain relievers. Just
take more. Consult your doctor or pharmacist. Some are very toxic.

I remember when my cousin was on prescription meds for her monthly
cramps. 500mg ibuprophen.
When I had back trouble, they put me on naproxin sodium, again
prescription. Now you can buy Alleve or it's generic equivalent OTC.

All of them are very toxic if taken in too large dosages over too long
a time. I graduated to hydrocodone after that, and then to back
surgery. That finally did the trick. Now I can cook a full holiday
meal and only be tired, not in agony afterwards.

I do a lot of shopping at the local drugstore. The checkers double bag
everything, in plastic bags. Somebody decided to save money on the
bags. If you look at them sideways, they split. So they double bag.
Even so, they underload them. I'll buy a few things, and get multiple
double bags. I'm glad they are saving money.

I've always laughed at "Extra Strength" because all they do is make a bigger
pill...

And along with the obvious marketing silliness, every time I've ever been
into a laundromat all of those miniscule packages of detergent they sell are
marked something like "Giant Size." I wonder what "Regular Size" looks like?

to use them in. They're darn good and it would be a shame to only use them
in things like antipasti.

Think of them as a condiment. Have a few with a sandwich or with
pizza. They're also good in dips. My problem is I eat to many and
smell pretty strong the next day. <g>

After eating a dozen cloves NOBODY hangs around me.

My wife and I have a rule. I eat garlic, she eats garlic. Otherwise I
hear complaints.

I go to a store that has sections of products with words I don't
understand. <g> Greek, Polish etc. Can't go wrong. One brand that's
pretty good is Mezzetti. I can never remember how to spell the name
right though. Last time I spelled it wrong Dan Able helped out.
Hopefully he's reading this.

Luckily Louise loves garlic too. Once in awhile I get carried away
and even she complains and asks me to go shower. But that really
doesn't help much. I once woke up and she was on the couch. She
couldn't sleep I was so bad even after a shower. LOL

Of course, it helps if you spell my name right.

Didn't see any pickled garlic. They have olives stuffed with garlic
though. I like those.
