Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, “Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?” The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Tony Stark with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, “What’s that?” The third panel is an identical copy of the first image and saying, “Benadryl the allergy medicine.” The fourth and final panel is a grainy picture of Tony Stark rolling his eyes and taking a deep breath.

This meme is based off of a real life experience. I knew a guy that was taking NyQuil to go to sleep. I told him he’d save a lot of money and his liver if he just bought diphenhydramine since that’s the substance in NyQuil that’s making him drowsy. He said. “What’s that?” I obviously responded, “Benadryl the allergy medicine,” and he seriously sighed and rolled his eyes at me. He was so sick of my crap 😆

Edit: Yay!! I’m so happy people like a meme I created 😁

    It’s more honest. I keep wanting to, but can’t make myself. Most of the time I’m getting generic or store brand “same active ingredient as …”, so why reward the branding efforts of a company I’m not patronizing?
