This is what school/stress does:
My stomach was killing me, but I decided against the $4 mini-bottle of Mylanta in the BYU bookstore--price gouging! I endured for the next 5hrs until I could get to a grocery store at which point I was ready to break open a bottle there in the antacids aisle (which I have done once...), but I restrained myself until I got to the parking lot. Yum. Chalky, minty, smooth.
The fake tums on the other hand...You know how public restrooms have those gross, fruity-smelling "air-fresheners" (not the word I'd choose) that when combined with the other assaulting odors are positively nauseating? Well, that's pretty much how those little Kroger antacid tablets taste. Pitooey!
So what was the ultimate price difference, and was it worth the cost to your stomach ulcer? You saved $2 and got 5 hours of physical pain. You don't get an award for enduring that kind of pain, you just get erosions.
ReplyDeleteBut as long as you're buying antacids, have you tried tropical fruit flavors? That's the only kind I can stand. Pineapple, coconut, mmm!
I got a bottle 10 times the size for the same price.
ReplyDeleteTry the wintergreen flavored Kroger ones. I can't stand the fruity ones either but the wintergreens are definitely bearable and slightly refreshing!
