Is "Sudafed PE" different than normal Sudafed? I typically take the latter when I have a cold. If it's a placebo, it's a darn effective one!
Edit: Oh I see, my box of Sudafed has a different active ingredient, "pseudoephedrine".
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoSudafed / pseudoephedrine is the real stuff, the stuff that works. It's also the stuff that you use to make meth.
- bennyelv 3y agoI find it funny that “things you need to cook meth” are such common knowledge among normal people. Breaking Bad sure had a deep influence!
- RattlesnakeJake 3y agoIt's more due to the fact that you can only buy it in tiny amounts "because some people use it to make meth." As far as I know, that restriction predated the show by several years at least.
