    Have to be honest, never heard of Kenvue before today, always thought Tylenol was Johnson & Johnson or one of the other giant companies.

    1992 ad showing J&J.

    Aha! J&J spun off Kenvue 2 years ago, kind of like what IBM did with Lenovo and Lexmark decades ago.

    Glad I didn’t fall into an alternate universe or something!

      On November 12, 2021, Johnson & Johnson announced that it would spin off its consumer health division as a separate company, in an effort to streamline operations.[3] The new company would assume well-known consumer brands such as Aveeno, Band-Aid, Neutrogena, and Tylenol, while Johnson & Johnson would focus on its pharmaceutical and medical device sectors

        Interesting, so a consumer division vs. pharmaceutical division. Makes sense! Weird this is how I found out…

          Such a horrible spinoff name. Sounds like Sears’ Kenmore.

          Makes sense when you understand limited liability.

      So are they claiming is it just Tylenol or any acetaminophen?

        Trump tried to say the word acetaminophen, but gave up and just said Tylenol. That’s truthfully what happened.

        I don’t think there’s anything special about the pills in Tylenol, not sure why they insist on namedropping that brand.

        Edit

        https://www.tylenol.com/products/headache-pain-relief/tylenol-extra-strength-caplets

        Acetaminophen 500 mg

        Pain reliever/fever reducer

        Inactive Ingredients

        carnauba wax*, corn starch*, FD&C red no. 40 aluminum lake, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, modified starch*, polyethylene glycol*, powdered cellulose, pregelatinized starch, propylene glycol, shellac, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide

        *Contains one or more of these ingredients

        Compared with Walmarts generic, from app, won’t let me copy/paste:

          I see, perhaps the goal indeed is a stock manipulation.

            Or at best, Trump just can’t pronounce “Acetaminophen”. 😉

                To be fair, I did hit that with one of my own prescriptions. Had to Google how to say it.

                Eplerenone.
