Did you know taking 2-500 mg Vitamin C tablets equates 1,000 mg?

Shortly after Covid hit, I was at Rite Aid wanting to purchase a 1,000 mg of Vitamin C. (This was one of the recommendations to prevent Covid to take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily). One of the customers in the store snatched the last one so I had the next best thing (photographed below) which was 500 mg of Vitamin C.

I had asked the cashier if taking 2-500 mg tablets would equte 1,000 mg. She didn't know so she told me to ask the pharmacy and I did. And yes, taking 2-500 mg tablets would equate to 1,000 mg of Vitamin C.

When I was at Fred Meyer's front inside entrance where the shopping carts are before entering the store this past Friday night, I smiled at an older white woman who was leaving. I had on my usual maximum protection re-usable mask with filters (my first mask I got when Covid first hit over 5 years ago) and she smiled and came by to chat with me on her way out. She had no mask on, but told me that if she wore her mask that would be her plan to rob the store because nobody would recognize her (she was joking). She then proceeded to tell how that when she wore her mask the last time she was at Fred Meyer, a couple of people said "Hi" and greeted her by name and recognized her so, there went that plan.                                                              I think you'd have to wear more like these types of masks (shown above) to ro...

I bought this today, (Mon. 9/22/25) at Costco to have "just in case" (chicken soup is great for when you get sick: colds, flus, or Covid). It was $6 off ($7.99 total with tax) regularly $13.99 for 8 cans. Below is a photo of the specs for this healthy and tasty chicken soup Remember when Covid hit for the first time and everyone was stocking up on things? Well, the only thing I stocked up on was chicken soup during that time. Did anyone else do that, too or did you stock up on other things? Comment publicly to this post your answers.
