Do marketing people think we are that stupid?
#1
Stopped at the store this morning for some Excedrin. That stuff seems to work best for me and my general aches and pains. Especially when I have a migraine. Its' formula is acedominophin, aspirin and caffine. Anyway, they now have a "new" product out. Excedrine Migraine. Guess what? Same exact forumula..exact same mgs of medicine and caffine. New packaging. Do they think we are all totally clueless?

Want to hear the kicker? The store had the Excedrin Migraine on sale..but not the "original". ::dunno:: WTF. So, I bought the sale one. Anyone with half a brain would do the same. But I am sure that there wil be people out there who will say the migraine formula works better than the regular. 85

Fascinating.

Your life just sounds like a 24 hour a day party, and I thought my days could be boring sometimes?

MF needs to create a seperate forum for consumer anecdotes such as this.

I noticed that a long time ago. I always use Excedrin. I get migranes too so I thought hey great a new med. Then I compared the ingredients and thought WTF? I always buy the store brand anyway. Same shit and cheaper. Because I am poor you know. hhehee My mother always buys the brand name product. I try to tell her the generic is the same shit. She won't listen.
