Vincent Flanders’ comments: When you’re young, you talk about the drugs you take. When you’re old, you talk about the medicine you’re taking. Once of the problems with taking medicine when you’re older is that you forget whether you’ve taken your pills or not — especially when you take several different medicines.
King 5 TV ran a news story about a new type of medicine cap that tells you how long it’s been since you’ve opened that particular medicine. They mentioned that local drug store chain (Bartell Drugs) would have the product available and that it was available from the manufacturer.
I looked at a lot of pages at Bartell’s site , but couldn’t find a search engine. Using the Google Toolbar, I searched the site, but only found one link and the link wasn’t helpful.
When I went to RX Timer Cap’s web site (the manufacturer of the product) and clicked the Buy button, I was greeted with the message “Page Under Development.”
Holy Mother of God. Do these morons realize how frustrating this is? I want your product but you won’t let me order it.
Obviously, there will come the day when they solve this problem (I hope). Here’s a video to memorialize the fact they’re Unclear on the Concept.
