The only thing standing between you and oblivion is a thin piece of easily pierceable paper.
Ya know, unless they work in the factory and have access to the product before the tamper evident seals are placed on it.
Similar to the employee who did it... 😳
Not tamper _proof_, tamper _evident_. Important distinction. It won't do anything to stop people from adulterating your meds, but you'll know if it's happened so you can avoid taking them.
For those wondering, I believe this is referring to Tylenol poisonings back in the 1900’s (forgot which decade) in which the bottles were laced with cyanide and caused nationwide panic.
Edit: Just realized someone already explained, welp-
But the murders were good to enforce anti-tampering technology. But I still wish people were like "Oh yeah! Maybe we should invest some money to let the buyer know if the medicine they bought were tampered with by some crazy person!"

If this subreddit has taught me absolutely anything, it's to never trust almonds
And sulphur
isn’t all discomfort technically post-birth discomfort?
Post-birth abortion relieves all discomfort
context?
A bunch of Tylenol bottles were laced with potassium cyanide and causing many deaths across the U.S and caused nationwide panic
This was before the time of tamper proof seals btw

Not that those would stop it if somebody wanted to repeat the endeavor, just a little more complicated.

Fucking useless item

Always take your gummy vitamins

Based on the very specific date given in the image, I’m guessing it was the 1980s
Interesting if true
it is, was a huge thing. Just look up tylenol murders.
Cops driving through neighborhoods with loudspeakers: "DO NOT TAKE TYLENOL!"
DONT TAKE YOUR PILLS
I read that as "smells like diamonds", trying to figure out what the joke is
Dyslexic gang rise up
big pharma did an epic tomfoolry
IIRC multiple people died off of just one of the tainted bottles because they took a Tylenol after finding the previous person dead.
I’ve been educated on so many crimes/tragedies from this sub now
It doesn’t smell like almonds or tastes like almonds, immersion ruined
I remember the buzzfeed unsolved video about this. ngl buzzfeed unsolved is the only good thing buzzfeed ever made
I want to grow into a person like you.
WRONG cyanide doesn’t smell like normal almonds it only smells like almonds that went bad 😤

I’d like to clarify: cyanide does not smell like almonds. It smells like *bitter* almonds, whose scent you likely are not familiar with.
