Crazy lady coming through!

I just visited Big Internet Company's first-aid cabinet because I've been getting these rockin' headaches in the middle of the afternoon. As I perused my options (generic forms of Advil, Tylenol, and Excedrin), I discovered something called "Menstrual Relief," which is obviously just generic Midol. But upon closer inspection, I noticed that in smaller letters, above the name, was the word calming. Huh. Now I can't stop thinking of old white men in a boardroom, trying to come up with non-trademarked names for their generic drugs, and thinking, "Well, clearly women get hysterical when menstruating, so yeah…we'll put 'calming' in the name."
