^ That was clever. I've done a drug trial before. For $3000 I was willing to give up three weekends and submit my arms to a crapload of needle insertions.
The drugs weren't anything too dangerous as they had previously been released over in Europe for people who suffered from Osteoporosis. But after a few months people were having trouble digesting the pill and breaking it down into the system. And so the pill sat in peoples stomachs and proceeded to creating ulcers and other unpleasantries. So what the clinic down here was testing was an attachment. The wee attachment was supposed to allow the main drug to be absorbed better. And if it didn't work, well chances are I would have ended up with a sore tummy. But it was all sweet, I should hear about the results of the research sometime next year. The worst part about doing it was actually staying at the clinic. Even though it's like a first class clinic (think of first class plane trips), it was still terrible. The same meals every night I was there, the same dry heat that had to be kept high for research purposes. And the fact you weren't allowed to do any exercise, it was dreadful. $3000 kept me going though

Sounds like a sweet job...but the food has to be a downer.

Before each dinner you had to swallow a calcium tablet the size of a bullet, I didn't think throats were that big!
Yes the food...lunch...a salad croissant with what tasted like grass, a heap of dried tomato and some fetticini that could have been mistaken for travelling through the human body once already. The best bit was the white chocolate muffin, which felt like a earning a gold medal after running a marathon.

There could be worse things...try going buying a Yoohoo and opening it to drink it to only find out it is 3 years old after you drank half of it and then you can't get a refund for it.

I had the same sort of thing happen to me today. Bought some M&M's, chowed into them, looked at the Best Before date... oh would you look at that, it's 2 months old. Son of a bitch.
