A new open letter

[mousme]

Dear Makers of Advil Cold & Sinus,

I appreciate your product. Believe me, I do. However, given the effect that a sinus cold has on my brain and cognitive functions, never mind my manual dexterity, why for the love of GOD would you put a child-proof cap on the bottle? COME ON! That's tantamount to putting a Phnee-proof cap on it, and is patently unfair! Cruel and unusual punishment. There isn't even a child-proof cap on your extra-strength Advil, or the liquigels, or any other product of yours that I've ever used. What gives?

No love,

Me

I've noticed that a lot of the products, Advil included, do not have child-proof caps on all versions of their product, including the same product offered in different sizes. Small? Maybe child-proof. Normal size? Maybe not. That version that's on special? Might not be as well.

Hopeful when you are buying that "Stuffy headed, stop the pain, dear Gods let me sleep" type medicines.

are you still well enough to come over?

The sad part, I find, is that child-proof products only stop adults from using them. My little cousins and such seem to have no problems opening these bottles at will.

Hmm ... I didn't notice that in the bottle that I bought two days ago. But of course, I have a kid at home who could figure it out.

I've also joined the ranks of no voice-ness with you. Was bad yesterday but has now completely gone today. And I SUCK at charades!! LOL!
