We are not ready for this, but here we go. Let’s take a look at the Tylenol murders of 1982, a story that's equal parts chilling and absurdly influential in the world of over-the-counter medication.
Imagine it's the early '80s. Hairstyles are big, music is synth-heavy, and people everywhere are popping Tylenol like it's candy for everything from headaches to hangnails. Then, suddenly, Tylenol goes from being everyone's go-to pain reliever to the star of a horror show. In the Chicago area, seven people drop dead after taking Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. Yes, cyanide, the stuff of Agatha Christie novels and Cold War espionage, not something you'd expect to find in your headache meds.
We then lighten the mood with yours and our favourite songs from the 90s, now available on this Spotify playlist! You’re welcome!
