8. I tried Tylenol when it first came out in the seventies

I had broken a collar bone, and my orthpedic doc said here, try this new painkiller, better than aspirin. I tried it and broke out in hives within an hour. I was allergic to one of the inert ingredients. I've stuck with the good old tried and true aspirin ever since. I'm not allergic to it, it works well, and it has a proven track record going back centuries.

But big pharma doesn't like it because it isn't a profit booster, thus they come out with the new thing. Trouble is sometimes that new thing is worse than what it is replacing, but they don't care, they're laughing all the way to the bank.
