    A chemist walks into the store he owns… and he sees a woman, leaning up against a wall near the counter.

    “What’s wrong with her?” he asks his assistant.

    "She was sneezing and needed allergy medicine, " explains the assistant, “but I couldn’t find any, so I sold her a bottle of laxatives instead.”

    “WHAT?” bellows the chemist. “You can’t treat allergies with laxatives!!!”

    “Of course you can,” replies the assistant, pointing at the woman. “Look at her, she’s too scared to sneeze now!”

    I refuse to use a pill bottle labeled for women. Not because of any fear of using women’s products, but because of the pink tax. I bet that bottle costs a whole dollar more than a generic laxative.

    Is there an actual medical reason to have different laxatives for men and women, or is this a weird marketing thing?

      I’m not a doctor, but maybe it’s to make sure it’s safe for someone who is (or may be) pregnant?

      Could also just be marketing too of course.

        That’d be my guess, too. Probably lowers the risk of women pooping out the baby before they want to.

    My wife was making banana bread and a similar disaster was waiting to happen as the Cinnamon and Cumin are sold in nearly identical-looking containers. The inevitable happened and we ended up with banana bread that tasted like it was seasoned with taco seasoning!

      We had that happen with cinnamon and ginger. They had both almost the same colored packaging and the color of the spice itself also didn’t differ a lot. We needed ginger for the recipe and ended up with cinnamon. It wasn’t completely ruined, but it was more like something to get it over with while eating instead of enjoying it.

        They were surprisingly edible. Honestly the chocolate chips provided the needed reprieve from the cumin, but we did end up tossing about half of it after a week of nibbling at it and laughing anew about the mistake
