Americans are more used to using brands rather than product names.
An European would just ask for ibruprofen and swallow whatever brand they throw on the counter, where an american would ask for Advil ( and from what I heard they often think anything else not to have the same effect. )

Very true. My mother in law calls it motrin. If I ask if she wants ibruprofen for a back pain, she says “no, but do you have any motrim”. It’s been like 20 years, she still can’t get it in her head that they are the same thing. Even advil is different in her mind.

Thanks for clearing that up. (still can’t wrap my head around it though)

BTW, this is one of those Mandela Effect things. The actual brand name is singular: Depend®

Trump needs more than one. If I refer to multiple go-pros, I add an S as well. I don’t think our boy Nelson has anything to do with this one.

PLEASE do not give Trump even one GoPro. God knows what would be revealed through that.

I think it is more like the unrelated, and annoying, phenomenon where people inexplicably add an ‘s’ to brand names. I swear if I hear my in-laws tell me about their stuff from “Aldis” one more time I’ll lose it.

“I got it from Aldi’s [store]”

If they said and meant it like that, there wouldn’t be a problem. It is more like: “I got this from Aldis”, “I’m going to Aldis”, etc.

Ah, now the joke makes sense. Thanks.
Wasn’t sure if it was some sort of typo.

It is utterly insane that so many of those fucking idiots decided to try to not only normalize adult diapers, but portray them as something aspirational. Like… what in the Kentucky fried fuck.

It’s just they’re a cult. The moment a well visible liberal man wore diapers, they’d emasculate him for it, because these people don’t have anything to believe in besides unequality.
