I've tried a lot of generic ibuprofen meds (E: including gel ones) but nothing acts both as fast and effectively as advil gel pills. It very well may be a placebo, but I don't really care so long as it works.

I think that's just them being gel. There are generic gel pills that in my experience work just as fast.

Shave gel. Some soaps. Some said Old ~~Baby~~ Bay seasoning and I am 100% behind them on that. Toilet paper. Menstrual pads. Ritz crackers (the consistency, the flavour, the texture/mouth feel). Certain electronics. Definitely tools (I've broken so many pairs of diagonal side cutters and the ones that have held up the best and had the best warranty are knipex). And yeah. I buy Advil (the candy coating makes it easier for me to swallow dry and I'm pretty prone to need it for lots of pains because I'm basically a walking talking broken vessel).

i know they prolly come from the same tap, but im not chuggin' a bottle of generic pepto
Metamucil Bulk Fiber
All the generics are awful in taste or consistency (for instance not being as finely ground it seems). And weirdly in Kirkland Signature's case, foamy.
Stupid expensive for what it is. But the effect is worth it.
Edit: sigh, autocorrect, you are the worst.

Used to be 3M duck tape. But that has totally gone to shit.
