    Why on earth would people spend a zillion pounds on the branded products just because they come in a flashy purple capsule or something.
    I agree

    I think packaging affects sales quite significantly on a large scale.
    Personally I've never bought any medication ever but advertising works on the general population, so does packaging and brand loyalty otherwise they wouldn't do it.
    Now go away.

    I used to swear by "Panadol Extra" for fixing headaches, but over the last few years I've come to realise that Sainsbury's own brand does the same job just as well, for about a fifth of the price

    I find a glass of water works a treat.

    Headaches are often down to dehydration of the mind.
    Now go away.

    No, mine never go away until I have fed them. Believe me, I've tried. It hurts

    Many of mine are sinus related though.
