New inventions - Humbug!
For at least 7 years I have been buying my meds at Target. Like most drug stores, they used the amber plastic bottles for your order of pills/capsules. The size depended on the quantity and the size of the product. About a year ago, they switched to red which is "their" color. It didn't matter what color it was but being a recycler, I loved the bottles for "stuff" namely, a small amount of money to carry at work, rubber bands, paper clips, seeds etc. Well now, they went to a huge amount of expense and have gone to a new concept. Some young designer in her late 20's, I believe, (who probably has never really taken more than an ocassional aspirin) came up with the design. While the idea is good, the bottle is good for nothing - too clumsy. They stand on their heads so that the name in large letters is on the top so wrong med isn't taken. They have a colored band they put on neck for each family member (6 colors available) so wrong bottles aren't taken and they have a description sheet that slids in a pocket type contraption which sticks out.
Safety? definitely; like it? HUMBUG! Wonder what this is going to do to the price.....
