In Europe, like the rest of the world, you can get generic Aspirin for much cheaper than name-brand. But you have to specify the chemical name, acetylsalicylic acid. In German: Acetylsalicylsäure. But that's too hard to say, so everyone uses the acronym ASS. And it's over the counter only. So you go to your drugstore and your gotta say "hey man, I need some ass tablets." And that's why everyone buys name-brand Aspirin instead.
