Has someone mentioned this before? The Walgreens pharmacy chain (and probably other drugstores) have jumped on the bandwagon and created their own brand of Airborne. "Wal-born"! I'm not kidding.

I have some fun with this on my blog, proposing a product called Placebo-rn.

ACME, the chain I work at right now carries Airborne. Along with a bunch of homeopathic crap by Boiron
 
In the UK, Boots jumped on the same bandwagon a while ago, and now produce their own branded sugar pills homeopathic products.
 
I worked at Walgreens for about 5 years (high school and a little bit during college) and their selling of that kind of stuff never sat right with me. They were paying me and it was nice to have money so I wasn't going to complain. I don't think I ever saw someone buy any. On another note, a few months ago the makers of Airborne were ordered to pay something like $23 million as the result of a class action lawsuit. Here is the Wikipedia page to that product with some details about the lawsuit:

CVS has it's own Airborne knock-off called CVS AirShield.
My best friend practically lives off the stuff, but she's into all kinds of crazy woo.
 
It's never left Bartels in the Washingtoon State, USA, region. :(
 
So do you think my product called Placebo-rn will take off? It's honestly named, and I promise one drop of sterilized cat saliva in every tablet.

"For hundreds of years, traditional native healers have believed in the benefits of cat spit. Now you can believe it too!"
