[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? - eviltoast

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 Robert Downey Jr. 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 Bobby rolling his eyes and taking a deep breath.

Edit: Tony Start -> Robert Downey Jr. I didn’t know that Tony Stark was a character Robert Downey Jr. played 🤦‍♂️

    Good on you for including a written description of the image but… “picture of the actor Tony Stark”?

    Edit: or are these descriptions automatically generated?

          Robert Downey Jr is the name brand, Tony Stark is the generic name. Hollywood producers certify there’s no functional differences between the two products.

          oohhhHHHHhhh!! I knew something was off! I was so confused, lol. I thought there was an actor names Tony Stark that looked a lot like Robert Downey Jr. I don’t watch super hero movies, so I didn’t know about that Tony Stark character.

          This is hilarious. If some users didn’t depend on the caption to participate in the conversation, I’d leave it the way it is. However, I’m going to edit it to properly reflect the content without being confusing.

          Thanks for the clarification!
