Paracetamol, what you lot call acetaminophen, was first synthesized in 1877(or maybe much earlier in 1852). It wasnt widely used until the 1950s. Tylenol is a brand name that means fuck all to any conversation.
It means a lot to the company that owns the Tylenol brand. People would be fools not to try suing.
No, you see he said "asseattomanefin" first. So, its totally fine...
Hang on, I've got Assetto Corsa's lawyers on the phone...
.... Tylenol is Acetaminophen, unless some atypical specialized formula. Just like Advil is typically just Ibuprofen.
... which most of the world calls paracetamol.
What do you think I meant with "brand name"? You do realise that Tylenol is a brand, and not the actual drug, right?
Oh, I see, sorry. I thought you were saying not to take Tylenol.
