A spoonfulla cocaine helps that medicine go down…
Plus it makes you more confident and better looking.
Some of Sassy’s special stuff right there!
Is this a The big Lez show reference? I just found that series today and that would be quite the coincidence
Is it 7*(1-2) = 7 to 14g, or 7+(1-2) = 8 to 9g?
Also love the range of potential error. Plus or minus 1g? Eh, it’s fine.
Those are probably fractional grains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(unit)
It was defined such that 252.458 units would balance 1 cubic inch (16 cm3) of distilled water at an ambient air-water pressure and temperature of 30 inches of mercury (100 kPa) and 62 °F (17 °C) respectively.
Nice and convenient.
So “7 1-2” should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between “grs” and “GRS”?
Considering the active ingredients seem to be listed in bold, I think it’s safe to assume that it was just simpler to use all caps for one part of the label and lower case on the other half.
GRS probably stands for grains. A grain in 1/7000th of a pound, so these is actually not that much per serving. Unless this is using British Imperial Units, which are different from American standard Units. If it’s British imperial, I don’t know how much this is meant to mean.
Agreed. It sent me digging.
An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7 with a terminating decimal representation, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams.
The Avoirdupois entry had a good visual representation as well as more weights history.
The “q. s.” remains a mystery though.
The “q. s.” remains a mystery though.
q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for “as much as necessary”. Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn’t given and might vary.
Yeah. Lack of standard notation or standardized font for ingredients. No regulations in ppace for legibility.
Next time, instead of asking if someone is pregnant, just ask if they are anodyne expectorant.
How much antimony is too much antimony?
It sure is.
The top tax rate
10% alcohol, cannabis and chloroform. Sounds like a very long night’s sleep after a small cup
I wonder what this stuff tasted like
It probably tastes like nothing because it instantly numbed your tongue.
Can taste anything when you’re instantly unconscious
Oh yes, good old g/floz
“uphill both ways” is a lot funnier if you interpret it as being really blasted
