Resistance
Child-resistant packaging. It’s a great way to kick the infirm when they’re down.
Eventually pill-resistant children will invalidate the necessity for the words ‘push down and turn’.

I like how when i was 6 I was opening the aspirin bottle for my mom because she couldn’t. child resistant my ass.
but thats how everything is now, not just pills. At least in America, we coddle our children to the point that they don’t get to have any fun. I remember when i was little, my preschool had this giant tractor tire in the back that we could play in. and there where these little peddled go karts that we’re all sorts of dangerous. we learned to take stock of our surroundings, and if you got hurt, you got a band-aid and new not to do it again.
Oh, those tire trucks! We had a whole tire section of the playground. On one side were the slides in the swing, then came the giant empty field, and then on the far side was a bunch of tires. We used to pretend they were ponies. They were quite fun until you went barreling in to one and got a bloody nose.
We had a tire DRAGONl You could climb up his back or sit in his mouth or get up inside his head. Also there was some kind of hollow wooden pyramid I think.
You can request that your pharmacy NOT use child-proof
caps. Save the caps and reuse them because a pharmacy
will typically forget to include them again on your next order.
My mum does that, it’s true!
I requested non-child proof caps when I got the vicodin and antibiotics for my toothache but the bastards still gave me push-down-and-turns. I think though that there’s an even more difficult to open type now and maybe they just gave me the lesser of two evils.
I really like your work! These are so funny and true, I know that I fight with those bottles all the time. I also like the way you post them a lot, how you include a little blurb about what you were thinking.
Well done.
thanks, that’s always nice to hear.
When my brother and I were about five, we both managed to open child-proof caps. We didn’t actually want the stuff in the bottles; we just wanted to prove we could do it.
My brother did it by hitting them very hard with a blunt object. I did it by reading the instructions on the cap.
I hava always thought this is a perfect example of the differences between my brother and me.
I think that’s a classic description of the difference between the sexes…
…right now for example, I’m typing this with a brick.
have you ever tried to husk a fresh coconut?
it’s nearly impossible. i’ve tried breaking one
over a rock (that doesn’t work).
medicine bottles are the same way. when you
are sick (or old or medicated), it’s almost
impossible.
now i’ll try to open this wrapped cd without
using a rock…
Arrgh, wrapped CDs… the Rubick’s cube of the packaging world…
Nice ryhming once again!
I love how the last one in particular looks like it’s from an education pamphlet.
Well, the older ones went down so well last week that I thought I’d rummage through my notebooks and find one… it was either this or one about piano playing pandas.
I heard a stand up comedy act say that he had been prescribe some pills.
The doc said to take one whenever he managed to open the bottle.
I’ve never had any issues with child proof caps.
I’m either able to open them the proper way, or able to twist them hard enough to break the child proofing bits.
hehehe
The bottles I can’t open are normally twist top beers or energy drinks.
Yeah, I open twist top beers the same way as a normal beer.
WITH MY TEETH!
Crazy crazy man.
