So the box of Benadryl I bought today says it contains
"48 Kapseals (R)
Capsules"


Ok, so whatta we got here? Someone at the manufacturer dreamed up the idiotic word "Kapseals," and they realized that "Kapseals" was so idiotic that they had to translate the word to "capsules" on the box, yet not only did they use the idiotic non-name, they spent good money to register it as a trademark!

I will never, ever, as long as I may live, understand how large corporations get so screwed up that things like this can happen.

1. A Kapseal is a safety band applied where the capsule halves meet
It's an additional safety seal.

Yes, it's a stupid name.

3. This post expresses disdain for all of the corporate world.
And a refusal to adapt.
