So I was about to correct you that Tylenol is actually acetaminophen; turns out paracetamol is just another name for the same chemical. TIL

they both come from the chemical name - para-acetylamino-phenol (or, more proper,, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). random people chose different parts to shorten the name
