I'll add that to the list of ice cream flavors i wouldn't like trying along with this one
I'm curious what distilled racism, medical misinfo, and ancient boomer memes tastes like, but not that curious.
I imagine it tastes like pennies, rubber bands, and soot.
Leaded gasoline too.
Can't wait for the LinkedIn ice-cream to drop
Nomen schreibt man aber groß! (Tabletten wurden klein geschrieben)
dat is godverdomme Nederlands kutmof
Er staat zelfs "bij koorts" op de doos

As a German who lived in NL for a couple years as a kid, this triggered school bullying flashbacks
Kids can be fucking mean...
Paracetamol has not been proven to relieve pain more than a placebo. Ibuprofen is the real deal.
I don't see them selling Ibuprofen ice cream
In managing arthritic pain, according to Global News, who do not appear to cite sources.
It is otherwise known to work for most people.

I did find a study about its inefficacy in treating lower back pain, however, but that's about it.
If placebo works, who cares lol
I'm gonna go forget this and enjoy using paracetamol for headaches :)
Are you saying that despite not getting you high it’s the primary cause of acute liver failure in the world, over alcoholism, because it’s such a good placebo?
Wait is that from people ODing on it? Or from normal usage?
OD, or having a pre-existing liver condition or taking other medication with acetaminophen that causes you to inadvertently OD on it.
It's true that the rates of OD are high for Acetaminophen, but if you don't have or do any of the above, it's safe.
Just take the recommended dose at the recommended schedules, not 20, and stop + see a doctor if your pain doesn't get better. It's not usually meant to treat chronic pains, and neither is Ibuprofen.

Thank you for the advice, but as someone with chronic pain, my doctor(s) do recommend I take it fairly regularly, though generally when my pain reaches more acute, flare-up levels. I use medicinal cannabis for the chronic stuff.
Then such is your doctor's advice, it takes precedence over general advice :)
Ibuprofen is the real deal.
Maybe before naproxen was invented.
