I have surrendered to my allergies. I bought some Claritin today. It is a tiny little white pill with the superhero ability to hold off symptoms for 24 hours. If they start timing this from the time you open the package it would actually be 23 hours, 50 minutes. This is because it takes 10 minutes to open the blister pack to get *at* the pill.

For as much as the packaging/marketing industry spends on re-designing boxes, dispensers, bottles, cans and the like, you’d think *someone* would come up with an easier (albeit, -child proof- child resistant) way to get at our beloved drugs. The last thing I want to do is find that itsy-bitsy corner of foil to peel back when my eyes and nose are manufacturing mucus for the masses.
