I will upvote this every time. “We would like to hear more about how you are using Allegra” is absolutely priceless.

[-] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 60 points 4 months ago

Pharmaceutical companies are actually legally required to find out if you’re misusing their product or taking it in an undirected way, and report that to the FDA. Well, has been that way historically, anyhow. If you even work for a pharmaceutical company and you overhear at a weekend barbecue that someone has not taken a dose or doubled a dose etc, you’re obligated to report it within 24 hours.

[-] Remorhaz@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Yep, I used to have a special card I had to keep in my wallet. It had a special number for them to call, and half of it had space for me to write down details (who/what/where) in the event I couldn’t get them to call

Is no one allowed to have fun anymore?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

We were never allowed to have fun; it's always been a guilty pleasure at others' expense.

We're just so interconnected now that we often hear whose expense it is, which may or may not offset your fun.

That's actually kind of wild

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago

I haven't seen a recipe for Allegra Chicken on the box so I'm not sure that person contacted Allegra.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 12 points 4 months ago

Reminds me of the one with the 7-11 gecko (or some animal) near a soda station. And 7-11 replies "can you tell us where this is so we can check on him and make sure he's safe?" And they're like no I ain't a snitch.

[-] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I recognize that Netscape logo cool guy.

How's your knees? Mine are fuuuuucked.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Ugh. I was literally just laying down in bed andy knee hurt. Literally zero pressure on it or anything. I'm only 33! It's not fair!

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

So they can steal the recipe hmm hmmm

Idk why ppl do antihistamines as recreative drugs like fr

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 43 points 4 months ago

Because they're psychoactive in higher doses and readily available in lab quality. Not saying it's a good idea but that's really all it takes for something to be used as a drug.

[-] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

The lab quality bit is optional.

[-] seliaste 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Why would you inflict on yourself dysphoric hallucinations on yourself if you live in a country where dextromethorphan is otc (which is not even my case, as well as antihistamines)

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Broke/desperate/high schooler. Mom and dad probably won’t notice if the Benadryl goes missing. The Hat Man makes sure that you only make that mistake once.

Think about how many kids huffed banana peels because of some text file Anarchist Cookbook they found online. There are probably dumbasses that fell for jenkum.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I researched the banana peel thing in middle shcool and decided it was bullshit. Tried the oregano thing and thought I was high. Didn't try the nutmeg.

The crater makers made from empty CO2 cartridges were a lot of fun. I remember sealing them with wax and thinking about how dangerous it was having an open flame while holding something that could take off my forearm.

Never could get the iodine crystal explosive decomposition thing to work, too hard to get ahold of the precursors when I was a kid.

It's a wonder I survived, thank jeebus I couldn't get ahold of mercury.

Where the fuck were my parents?

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Where the fuck were my parents?

If they were like mine, busy working. Also my parents both told us about how whenever a thermometer broke at school the teachers would show the kids how the liquid mercury felt to hold! They were both born in the early 50s.

I’m pretty sure it and leaded fuel and paint explains a lot of the boomer problems we’ve had over the decades.

How else are you supposed to meet the shadow man?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

I think it's mostly a meme, but I'm sure some people might.

[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

If I'm not mistaken they make you sleepy and drowsy

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks. Now that would be interesting, but I would not try it, thankyouverymuch.

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 18 points 4 months ago

It's allergy meds that people take to help them not sneeze.

But whenever I take it, it makes me drowsy.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

So the question is: on what kind of drugs did OP overdose to invent that recipe?

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago
[-] prole 2 points 4 months ago

Zyrtec is the one that works for me with no noticeable side effects.

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Cetirizine (Zyrtec) is pretty good and I think a tier 3 antihistamine. Allegra might be too.

If you need Zyrtec D, save a ton of money and get a separate Pseudoephedrine and Cetirizine. We get a 20 pack of generic Sudafed for $6 and a huge bottle of Cetirizine that last a year for cheap. The big bottle is around the price of a small pack of Zyrtec D.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Whut??

Edit: ah Hay fever

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Brand name for fexofenadine hayfever medication. If you don't live in the US you probably know it under a different brand name.

Hungry with itchy eyes? Deep fried chicken with the sensational flavor of Allegra is here for you.

[-] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 14 points 4 months ago

So this is what the kids are doing these days. What happened to good old cough syrup chicken.

[-] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

But does it taste better than sleepy-time chicken?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

Just raid the medicine cabinet for seasoning. Don't follow a recipe, go with vibes. Try that jar of cough syrup, a little rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer should help with mouth feel, what was that pack of pills that you just knocked in? Oh well, just a happy little accident.

[-] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

THEY'RE TRYING TO STEAL HIS SECRET RECIPE!

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
[-] offspec@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

This starting half way through made me really worried that I'd started this video before

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Oops had the wrong timestamp on the video! Fixed it.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

I, too, wish to know where this is going

[-] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

I wonder if it's like, good at all...

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 4 months ago

Follow the recipe!
