Parents: Pharmacy handed out pill bottles with candy during parade

CatFancier · Jul 5, 2013

A Rowan County couple says they are outraged after a local pharmacy company handed out pill bottles filled with candy during a 4th of July parade.

"It's nice to market your services as a pharmacy," he continued."We want people to be aware of who we are and what we do, but this perhaps may not be best practice."

Really? In this day and age, with the majority of pill bottles having a standard "child-proof" lock, with middle school-age kids already experimenting with their and other's parents' meds at "pharm" parties, somebody thought this was a great way to advertise for their pharmacy? No one thought this might send the message to kids that what's in mom and dad's pill bottles at home is candy? Incredible...

Oh and just because the bottle was blue and not orange doesn't make it any better. JMO
