1. None of my medicine has it.
My prescription doesn't come with it and does Advil come with it? I don't remember. Of course, usually I'm drunk if I'm taking Advil.

I really hate the cotton they put in your mouth at the dentist though. Or when you're inbibing in stuff that gives you cotton mouth...

11. Ugh! Drinking and Advil do not mix!
That's a good way to get bleeding ulcers, so please stop that, k?!

4. I just hate trying to dig that shit out of there when I have a hangover.
Pisses me off. They put it in there so the pills won't rattle around and break in shipping. I've got a better idea: how about filling the fucking bottle with PILLS instead of cotton. Would that be so hard?

7. I think it's in there to absorb any moisture from the air in the bottle...
...to keep the pills from turning poisonous.

8. Interesting theory.
Maybe that's why my wife always leaves it in there...

5. I hate it too, but I use tweezers and it comes out really easy that way.
What drives me nuts is sometimes when the cotton is pulled out, there is one little layer of pills at the bottom of a big bottle. WTF is up with that?

9. I can never find a tweezers at the correct
time.Sometimes a toothpick will do.

10. It doesn't bother me too much
but now that you mention it, I can't stand it when the cotton tears apart when attempting to get it out of the bottle...that is kind of creepy!
