    1. I get that they’re the same thing, but that’s still a lot less quality control than I want in my medicine.

      Store brand acetaminophen has literally been 100% Tylenol for 50 years. There is zero difference. They’re both literally the same product from the same factory from the same conveyor belt. With a different label.

      Always have been.

    3. Whoever was sorting that bottle didn’t get enough Tylenol when they were a fetus. An autist would have never let this slip.

      Fake, could easily just grab a Tylenol pill from elsewhere and make this thread to karma farm

    5. Well I mean it’s all made in the same place so. Is like Walmart motor oil isn’t made by Walmart but Exxon or whatever and rebranded.

      Most likely because it’s the exact same product being produced on the exact same line.

    7. When I went to a bank in the Bahamas and withdrew some money, the ATM gave me a random mix of Bahamian and US currency. To them it’s the same since the currency is pegged to the USD.

    8. Oh! This happened to me last year! My generic ibuprofen was branded product inside the strip. Check my post history and sort by most up voted.

    9. All store brands are made by the big companies and they just package them differently for the stores

      Growing up in Chicago in the 80s and living through the unsolved 1982 Tylenol murders, this scares me more than it should.

    11. Assuming this is legit, this is actually a pretty concerning failure of line clearance on the manufacturing/bottling line at whatever company makes this for Kroger. Depending on what other drugs are processed there, it could have been a completely different medication. I would definitely contact Kroger and let them know, they should take this very seriously.

    12. Waiting for somebody to take this as confirmation of a grand conspiracy that they are trying to give people autism by hiding it in other medication.

      As everyone has said, generic acetaminophen tablets are 100% identical Tylenol. However, please report this to the FDA. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is tightly controlled and the FDA would consider this a major finding.

    14. Wonder if this is because there’s suddenly less demand for Tylenol but people are still buying the generics because they don’t know they’re the same thing. If that is the case, those people are going to freak out when they find out their Acetaminophen is contaminated with Tylenol tablets!

    15. I bought a few 50 gallon plastic drums online a few years ago (for my reef aquarium, if you’re wondering).

      The barrels still had labels on them. They were from India…500mg acetaminophen tablets, in 50 gallon barrels. That’s how things work today.
