'Why don't they!'

[colonel c]

Woke up with a slight headache today. So I took a couple of aspirin tablets like you do. That get me thinking.
Why don't they make single aspirin tablets in a double dosage form. Why do we always have to take two of them? Do anyone ever take just one?

Any other 'why don't they's'.

For children I guess. Children under 12 only need 1 asprin.

I take 1 when I start running out

I'd imagine one aspirin is the maximum dose for certain people (eg children).

Turn off the tv and go and do something less boring instead?

Asprin isn't generally given to kids as it's been linked to Reye's syndrome.

I've made my own by gluing together two tablets.

Midgets then. I'm sure they only need one.

I had loads when I was a child.

And are you any good at football as a result?

You only want one to thin the blood in the event of a heart episode.

I'm pleased to say I am, and always have been, a terrible footballer. I'm only slighty better than the whole Portsmouth team.

Not recommended to anyone under 16yrs these days although children are generally regarded as adults in terms of medication when they are 12

So did I; but I keep a bottle of them in my desk draw and it says asprin should not be given to kids because of a possible link between asprin and Reyes syndrome.
