    I don’t take ibuprofen often, but a couple months ago I opened my bottle, shook out 2 pills, and out popped a tiny plastic mammoth. I was very confused. Where had this tiny toy come from? Had it ALWAYS been in this bottle somehow? What kind of wacky assembly line accident could cause this?

    I was telling my brother about it and he was like “I FORGOT that I put that in there! Bro it’s been like 3 years!”

    Mystery solved. But yeah I was very confused and questioned all the other ibuprofen I had ever taken. I store it under my sink in a box, so not easily visible. Showed me how easy it would be for someone with ill intent to do something actually bad (as long as I trusted them enough to be in my house… which raises the bar pretty high for malice, but still…)
    The little mammoth got to go back in the bottle, it lives there now.
