Searching for Pseudoephedrine
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2006 9:51 pm
As if the meth epidemic wasn't personally fucking me over enough...
As some of you may now, pseudoephedrine is apparently...well, contraband now, because of its ease of conversion into meth. Now, I don't know about you, but I LIKE pseudoephedrine, especially during cold season, and I especially like pseudoephedrine when it's contained in man's most effective OTC medicine, Nyquil (and its derivatives).
In response to threats of lost revenue--essentially, items containing pseudoephedrine would now have to be kept behind the counter, their sales logged, etc.--Vicks simply removed the decongestant from its most fantastic of elixirs, rendering it far less potent...I mean, christ, what's a cold medicine without a decongestant? (Vicks used to have a Nyquil FAQ page up, wherein the question "Wait, you're selling me an inferior product" asked in about seven trillion different ways gets answered with "There is no longer a decongestant in the product." Thanks for the exegesis, motherfuckers)
For a while, one could still find stray bottles without the FANTASTIC NEW FORMULA THAT DOES LESS, especially of various store brands. As of late, though, it's getting harder and harder to do.
Anybody else suffering?
