So whats the story with these pills

dashcamdanny

These yokes have been in our medicine press for as long as I can remember. Yet no one has a clue how they got there.

Take the blue one. Or the red. I don't know.

One a day.

Summer wind

They're our governments answer to Armageddon.

They could simply add it to the water. IW could sort it. Would save postage.

I think they sent them out in case of a nuclear accident from Sellafield or something. They protect the thyroid gland.

Every household got them in 2002 in the event of nuclear disaster.

Are you aware there's a laptop in your medicine press?

dashcamdanny

Everyone got them in 2002 after the Roy Keane Saipan incident.

Sclosages

They're for the prevention of goitre.

The government figured we all had thick necks on us, so this was the cure.

On the sly, they told us, we'd be invaded by nuclear weapons and this pill would protect us.

We all bought it though!

I hid my iodine tablet somewhere and haven't been able to find it since. Awful sad.

martinedwards

they're anti diarrhea tabs

trust me, if you hear about Sellafield melting down, you'll need 'em!

biko

They are Rohypnol so if Sellafield blows you will just sleep through it.

Apparently they also contain the wrong kind of iodine too.

My friend is the youngest of five children. When the packet of pills arrived through her door, there were six in the packet, and seven in the family. As the youngest, she knew (from experience) that - if the worst happened - all the older family members would bully their way in and get their pill before her.

So she sneakily stole one tablet from the pack and hid it away for herself.

But then she realised that her older siblings might have the same idea - and might cop on to what she'd done, when they saw there was one missing. So, to avoid this, she took the rest of the packet and dumped it in her neighbour's bin. Her logic being, if her siblings went looking for them to sneak away their own one in advance, and when the box wasn't in the medicine cabinet, they'd assume the parents had hidden it away somewhere.

So basically if Chernobyl had imploded, as far as she was concerned she'd be grand, but she'd left the whole of her family to perish!

Stick them on eBay, they're worth a fortune!!

They're suppositorys OP,stick 'em up your sheriffs badge.

No need to worry, sure hiding under the table does the same job!

I cant remember what happened our ones...most likely went from the letter box to the bin in one swift movement.

TopTip-Keep the bin underneath the letterbox for maximum efficiency.

When people start threads asking about the iodine tablets that have been in their press since before they were born, you know you're officially old!

That's actually brilliant...funniest thing I've read in a long while

Sadly after asking my wife where we got them, she said she found them in the press of our first rented house together.

So I am old. ish.
