Really interesting chart, with a few surprises to me in the top 20-30.

Provides fodder for jokes and some more serious thoughts about American society today!

Perhaps RJ (MrHappy) was right when he said "Better living through modern chemistry"  Grin

Firtsly, I am VERY surprised Viagra is only number 38... I thought it would be a clear number 1.

Also surprised that Nexium is number 2. I have to use protein pump inhibitors occasionally due to stomach problems. I also had to use them while on prednisolone (since corticosteroids can lead to ulcers) but I have never met anyone using this med before. It is quite effective though.
