Okay, the sentence "The FBI is currently investigating a possible storehouse in Somerville used by the 1982 Tylenol Killer of 1982, sources state" just makes me giggle.

Was this, by any chance, in 1982? (Which, BTW, is my year of birth.)

Yes, but we can annoy the young by talking about "the good ol' days!" In this case, the days before every over the counter drug (and really, any ingestible) was sealed with shrink wrap over an impossible to open cap, under which is another layer of sealer. Yes, I also remember before everything had "child-proof caps as well. In fact, all the residential doors were unlocked and we kids used to play stickball in the streets... :-)
