No. This was purchased because someone thought it was a "great deal". They will use about a quarter of the bottle before it expires and then just throw the rest out.

Not everyone is a lonely neck beard. Some folks live with families, and some of those family members might just have to take a daily pill or two daily.

Are you suggesting that anyone who doesn't use up all of their over the counter medications before they expire is a "lonely neckbeard"?

That seems like a harsh judgement

No. Just those that only can consider quantities for a single person and bitches mouths off about it online. Those are the neckbeards.

Some of us may have beards on our necks, but I suspect you may have a neckbeard around your heart

Brother, here you can't even buy a card with more than 20 tablets or a box with more than 60 (3 cards of 20), and they've always worked fine for my family of 5. Should I also mention that my mother suffers of chronic back pain? As usual, 'murican culture is a culture of unnecessary excess.
