Is this a late April fool's joke?
In Switzerland, I _can't_ buy more than ~2 [1] packages with 16 pills (500mg acetaminophen/paracetamol) at a time without a prescription from my doctor. And the biggest package size is 100, but that always needs a prescription. Also, you can only buy it at a pharmacy anyway.
[1]: it depends a bit on the pharmacy/pharmacist, sometimes you can get away with 3, but they start asking questions and propose you just come back again when you used up the 2 packages they are willing to sell to you.

- kijin 13y agoIt's not a joke! In Canada, go to the pharmacy section of any large supermarket and you can easily find large bottles with 500 tablets of 500mg acetaminophen/paracetamol. Even small pharmacies carry bottles with 100-200 tablets of Tylenol (branded product) or a generic version.
