What percentage of people that take Pepto use it frequently?
My ma is 90 years old. She has had an upset stomach for at least the last 60 years, maybe longer but that's as far back as her offspring can remember. Worse from stress, raw veggies, and fresh fruit. Removing her gall bladder didn't change anything, except the gall bladder attacks she started having when she was about 80.
Somewhere on the internet, it said the problem with taking too much Pepto is Salicylic poisoning. Looks to me similar to an Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) overdose, with the stomach ulcerating.
The bottle says you can take up to 16 tabs per day, as required. Bet you that some people need more than 16 per day, chronically, and that's the failure of Medical Science.
My Ma's upset stomach is 95% better if she takes 2 per day. Maybe she can miss an occasional day, but she really shouldn't. Wish we could find out what's with her insides, but Medical Science has failed her, too. Hoping that 2 tabs per day, forever, is safe.
The Pepto website doesn't provide the list of "inactive" ingredients. The bottle of tabs doesn't show the inactive ingredients. That's a neglect that I haven't seen with a product in a very long time. Even my Chapstick lists everything. I strongly suspect that Pepto uses a combination of Red Food Dyes that do nothing for the efficacy of the Pepto, but only make it pretty. Given that most people who use Pepto are using it periodically, I think most of the users would be delighted if the artificial colors were removed for reduced chemical exposure and a more pure product. And in the 21st Century, I think it would be a Marketing windfall for Pepto if the product turned gray. They could keep the packaging "pink."
I give Pepto 4 out of 5 stars, because it works well and appears to be low toxicity. But instead of a cure, it's a product you generally need to keep purchasing, maybe forever. Sounds like an investment opportunity?
I also rated it "Not recommended" because it's only a symptom suppressor, and what's truly "recommended" is to find the cause of the problem (like diet?) and correcting the underlying cause. In such a situation, I also had to rate it "Not a good value." Again, "value" would be finding the cause of the problem.
And there's no way for the consumer to rate the "Quality" of Pepto. Quality includes purity and consistency with the stated milligrams, and there's no way for me to test that stuff. Our lives are in their hands.
Hey, I got a reply from Pepto: "Additionally, while we use D&C Red #22 and Color D&C Red #28 for the coloring, I'll be sure to share your feedback with my team regarding just having the packaging pink."
How about that.

BT8
I guess they hope no one will notice the $40 shipping. Still, $160 "total" is better than $250, although it's still worth no more than $50. I hope that will be the new, low, easy-to-find price point from now on.
There's an accessory worth hunting for. It looks like an in-the-ears stereo headset, but instead of little loudspeakers, it has electrodes for the BT8. Each electrode is covered with a piece of foam, which you wet with water for better conductivity. The springiness of the "headset" allows you to place it on the neck, just below the ears. You can really turn up the electric current with the headset, and it also avoids so heavily targeting the earlobes with the included earclips. (If you try using it "dry," it feels like needles sticking into your neck.)

Lightweight without features
I'm not much into arts and crafts, so maybe else could say what this frame could be useful for.
I was surprised that there was no "foot" so the frame would stand up on a table, but the description didn't say there was one. I was surprised there was no hardware for the option of hanging the frame on a wall, but the description didn't say there was any.
It was a learning experience for me; now I know about frames. This one is just a frame and a plastic doc (or photo) protector.
It included a piece of cardboard to use as backing for your doc.
The frame has tabs on all four sides, and they are permanent, so you have to bend your doc careful to insert into the tabs. Same for the piece of cardboard.
Interestingly, back at the factory, the assembler was so disgusted at the design that required him to bend the cardboard carefully so that it wouldn't get damaged when it was inserted into the tabs, that he crushed one of the edges of the cardboard getting it under all the tabs.
It is possible to get a photo or a sheet of paper under all the tabs without damaging your doc, even to insert the cardboard backing they give you, unless it comes pre-damaged.
In summary, it was a pretty unsatisfying experience.
For now, my photo is standing up at the back of a desk, leaning up against a wall, because the frame didn't come with any mounting options. But like I say, there is probably an application for a frame that doesn't have any mounting options. If you have such an application, I might recommend spending a little more for a frame that is made with a little more love.
