Granny, are you looking for Geritol? It is still around.

Yeah, that's it, Pant. That used to be the stuff. Maybe I need to try it again. It's certainly been around a while, I took it as a kid for something or other.

 

Actually I believe that the FTC made them change their name so as to leave out the word "Liver". They were sold for years after that as Carter's Little Pills.

 

They can have my stash of Cheerios when they pry them from my cold dead hand!!

 

Now you know good and well you're not old enough to remember any of this firsthand, lil' whippersnapper.

 

Granny, that change happened in the early '60s and I guarantee you I was around then.

 

Then I'll have whatever you're having.

 

Just imagine what the co pay will be if they are declared a drug. Like cereal isn't expensive enough already?

I've eaten Cheerios since I was a kid. My son ate them and my grandson LOVES them. Rick has Cheerios almost every day for breakfast.

 

That's it, Granny, Carter's didn't have any liver in it - thus false labelling.

 

So John -

If General Mills were to change the lableing and suggest Cheerios might reduce cholesterol levels might that be enough for the FDA?

After all that's more than the tobacco companies had to do for years. And that was for harm not good.

I'm with you - it's a powerplay. And completely illogical.
