Why is that whichever end of a pill packet you open, the leaflet is in the flipping way?
Why is it that if you unfold the leaflet for a read, you can never fold it back in it's creases?
Who folds the leaflets, and why can't it be folded in a normal way, ie in half, in half again, and so on. instead of being folded like a piece of origami work?
Just wond'ring.

Probably a machine that does the folding, ferlew.

They're just out to get you ferlew, don't let them grind you down.

[bednobs]

i agree - no matter what end i seem to open, it's the leaflet end!

[Prudie]

Yep, hate the leaflets, always in the way and most of them are in such small print I can't read without a magnifying glass anyway.

[Connemmara]

it usually gives the same info as in any other leaflets. Never read mine.

[Connemmara]

well my doctor shouldn't have given me them!!!

[pusskin]

I glimpse to make sure its the same leaflet then chuck it in the bin.
it ruffles my feather with it keep getting in my way too!

[vakayu]

Easy solution make a mark on end of box without the fold on leaflet,then no probs.

[Prudie]

I think the issue is vakayu that with a new packet the leaflet is folded over both ends.

[vakayu]

Hi prudie any packet I get is folded over on one end preventing removal of tablets without removing everything other end tablets can be removed easily leaving leaflet inside?

[Prudie]

Hi vakayu, I just have this feeling that any packet I open (and I'm talking headache tablets) the leaflet is at both ends!

[cupid04]

I was wondering if I could sue, I've actually cut my finger on the foil thingy
that the pills were in!

[whistonian]

I always seem to open the wrong end.

[douglas9401]

If you're going to be removing and replacing the foils in the carton you'll have to remove the leaflet anyway, otherwise the foils snag on it.

I've now actually lost the will to live.

[Prudie]

I'm sure there's a pill for that douglas BUT you must read the leaflet

[vakayu]

Well Douglas that seems to be a very extreme feeling to avoid leaflets!Soldier on lol.

[douglas9401]

Side effects may include incredulity and deep shame in equal measure. :)

[boxtops]

Thank goodness it's not just me - I ALWAYS open the pack at the wrong end!
