Paid $12 for a banned cold medicine in Tijuana and it actually worked
I grabbed a box of the original formula cold pills down there for about 12 bucks because they pulled them off shelves here in 2006. Took two and my sinuses cleared up in like 20 minutes, way faster than the stuff I get at CVS now. The pharmacist told me they reformulated it because of some rare side effect, but honestly I'd still buy it again.
Twenty minutes is solid. I once spent 12 bucks on a "miracle" cold pill in Mexico and got nothing but a stomach ache and a lesson about reading labels in Spanish. My luck with cheap fixes is so bad that the pharmacist probably saw me coming and charged me extra for the headache. Glad yours actually worked, because my track record says I would've been the one guy who paid 12 bucks to feel worse.
