[Counterfeit medication is a real problem. What you get might be real or it might be something someone made out of Play-doh and red wine. How can you tell your pharms are counterfeit? Here are some warning signs:]
The tablet is an odd shape and has the word “Lego” on it.
The pharmacist from whom you bought it deals mostly from his car.
Instead of feeling the desired effects of the drug, you just get burps that taste like pine tar.
The pill container is not child-proof and is a condom.
Your pain-killers come with a disposable coke spoon.
There’s a toy surprise in the box.
The chemical name of the drug is listed as “Tri-methylamino-whatever”…
You notice that you are feeling more poisoned than usual.
Instead of coming in uniformly-sized pills, your drug comes in shards and powder.
The pharmacist asks that you pay by Western Union or with Bitcoin…
Now that wss really funny 😊

tie between ‘disposable coke spoon’ and ‘child-proof condom’ I never understood why they make some pills colored and write ‘artificial color added’

My guess is to make the pill distinct from other pills with the same size and shape… but, what do I know?

I saw something similar in the movie, Night of the Bloody Apes, except there were more pro-wrestlers, eye-gouging and Mexican actors. A man was given a gorilla’s heart and TURNED INTO A MURDEROUS GORILLA. It was one of those movies from Mexico that was dubbed into English, but you were never sure that the story you were given was the original story in Spanish…

A classic such as that is sure to lose something in translation…

I liked the pharmacist dealing from his car and the condom a lot, but my favorite was “There’s a toy surprise in the box”

Ha! Or, Your HIPAA Agreement is in Arabic. The only phrase you know how to read in Arabic is “not my fault,” and you see that printed multiple times.
