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

[-] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 59 points 6 days 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 6 days 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 days 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 6 days 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 6 days 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 5 days ago

I recognize that Netscape logo cool guy.

How's your knees? Mine are fuuuuucked.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 4 days 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 6 days 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 6 days 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 6 days ago

The lab quality bit is optional.

[-] seliaste 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I think both of mine were working at the time as well. They also are very rigid law and order types and at that time I hadn't begun serious rebellion.

I actually saw a teacher allow kids to play with mercury when I was in highschool in the 90s. Teacher was ancient and the town was so backwards that it is still known as a sundown town to this day.

Totally buy the lead explanation for boomers. Saw an old man toss lead split weights in his mouth and put them on fishing line like tying a knot in a cherry stem.

About all those micro plastics disrupting our hormones...

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

How else are you supposed to meet the shadow man?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

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

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

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 18 points 6 days 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 5 days ago

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

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago
[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Whut??

Edit: ah Hay fever

[-] prole 2 points 5 days ago

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

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days 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.

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

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

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Well, other people might know it under a different brand name here, thanks. It still confuses me that someone does a dish based on medicine-infused chicken...

[-] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

THEY'RE TRYING TO STEAL HIS SECRET RECIPE!

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

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

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

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

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

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

[-] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 14 points 6 days ago

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

Cuisines evolve over time. As they should. Have you seen ancient roman recipes? Shit's vile.

[-] seejur@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Tasting history w Miller on YouTube?

[-] Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago

But does it taste better than sleepy-time chicken?

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days 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.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

I, too, wish to know where this is going

[-] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

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

[-] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 6 days ago

Follow the recipe!

[-] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Lean chicken :)
