    My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.

    Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.

      Well but you do get health care with that, so instead of treating symptoms with ever larger doses of increasingly potent painkillers you have hopes of a more structural solution.

        They go bad, though? At least my nice white aspirin pills start crumbling and visibly yellowing after a few months. There’s no way me or even an entire family could swallow 500 until then.

        Well I can buy a pack of 16 in Tesco for £0.39

        So we’re actually paying pretty close to the same amount per pill, just in smaller packs.
