Pharmacy gives candy to kids in pill bottles

June

Sometimes people just don’t get it, do they? Check out this report on Consumerist about a Sam’s Club in Maryland that is putting candy like Dots and Tootsie Rolls in prescription bottles labeled with an advertising message touting the pharmacy. Here is a link to the original blog post. And here is a photo of the offending “treats.”

This is insane. That’s a great thing to be teaching kids, that what’s in prescription bottles is candy.

I had to have my stomach pumped when I was a kid (way back in the 60’s) and let me tell you… it was NO fun.

These guys should be ashamed!
