American Woman Visits Drugstore in UKCan’t Believe Price of Certain Items [Video]

A video of a woman has gone viral showing her astonishment at the “cheap” prices of two common medicines in the U.K, compared with the prices of their equivalents in the U.S.

The clip was shared by @ukshineon, who is from North America, according to her Instagram profile, and has amassed 733,000 views since it was shared on March 12.

The woman says in the video: “You know you are in the U.K. when you go to Boots … which is like Walgreens, for my people on the other side of the pond.” She then tells viewers to take note of the price in Boots of paracetamol and ibuprofen, two drugs branded as Tylenol and Advil, respectively, in the U.S.

The camera later shows boxes of paracetamol on a shelf at Boots that each cost 49 pence, while a packet of ibuprofen is priced at 55 pence (about 70 cents), as the woman says “What? … so dang cheap.”
