Extra Strength vs. Maximum Strength


So today I went to the store to buy my wife some Tums. I walked down the aisle and found a million different variations of antacids. Of course there were Rolaids and the store brand, but there were so many damn varieties.

When I was a kid I remember you had two different kinds of antacids: Tums and Rolaids. There were no fucking fruity flavors or added calcium. You got the straight up minty ass flavor and dealt with it.

Now you even get the different strengths of the antacid. I don't get that. You can choose from regular, extra strength or maximum. WTF? Why not just buy the maximum strength and knock that fucker out? Especially if you are thinking of buying the extra strength, that means that it hurts more than a regular pain. So why not be a trooper and throw down some maximum. I'm just waiting for the minimum strength to come out. Give it time...
