If you’re injured, the pharmacies want you get fat and get some… Don’t believe me? Read on!

During an awesome frisbee game this Tuesdays (which we won), I happened to roll over my ankle and fall down with a loud pop. Now, I’ve rolled my ankle before, but wow this was painful! After the gamed, I hobbled over to a drug store for some ibuprofen and athletic tape, and here is what I found:

The tape was hanging right next to the chocolates! I mean, I know product placement is an art and it was there on purpose, but just how well! Think of this, I am there fore a reason – to get tape because my ankle is the size of a fist and starts are shooting out of my ears; then, I see chocolate. Now, of course I will grab some of that chocolate because my brain right away associates it with pleasure, and pleasure would of course calm down the pain, in theory.

Then, right on the other side of the isle, I got some ibuprofen (aka. Advil) and what I found – condoms were hanging right next to the painkillers. Now, my theory would be that if a person is injured and needs ibuprofen to reduce swelling and pain, it is only natural that any sort of cardio exercise is out of the question for a few days; well, all but one

So, what did I walk home with? Yes, tape, advil, and chocolates. When one of the teammates called to make sure I was okay, I told him that I came home with “tape and chocolates”. His immediate response was: “now you just need a girl”. He didn’t hear anything about my drug-store experience.

Still don’t believe me that items were placed there for a reason?
