Or Tylenol is evil. Yep, that one.
Last week I had a horrible sinus cold (thanks big brother) and bought a pack of Tylenol cold and flu so I could make it through work without demanding them to dim the lights and cut the music because my head just may explode. And, for the most part, it worked. I was actually able to breathe and (mostly) hear when people were trying to talk to me. I was a little tired, but I just chalked it up to being eighty million weeks pregnant.
Then nighttime came around, so I popped a nighttime pill and expected a lovely, restful nights sleep.
Hah! I could breathe through my nose, sure, but I was awake until about 4am reading Amalah's archived blog entries. I react backwards to medication sometimes so I just thought that's what it was. I did this two nights in a row.
Fast forward a week. I am mostly recovered, but have passed this lovely sickness onto N. After four days of him being deathly sick, I remembered the little magic pills I had bought.
Last night:
"Here, take one of these, they totally work."
N. Starts to pop out one of the white pills.
"No, no, take one of the nighttime ones, the blue ones."
"Uh, babe? The white ones are the nighttime ones, the blue ones are the daytime ones."
...what?
Sure enough, right there on the front of the package (and one the back of the blister packs) - Cold & Sinus Daytime = blue pill, Cold & Sinus Nighttime = white pill.
What. The. Fuck.
Whose crazy logic was that? Don't the people at Tylenol know anything about marketing? If you were to give anyone a blue pill and a white pill and say "Okay, one of these is meant for night and one for day, which is which?" The answer would always be blue for night! Even on their packaging, day is all yellow and sunny and night is all dark and starry and blue. BLUE!
Tylenol is evil and sadistic and I'm pretty sure they did that on purpose to trick sick and sleepy knocked up chicks. Those dicks.
