thread_title: Correction to photo caption

message: I'm very dubious as to the name origin claimed here -- "Rx" has been shorthand for a prescription for centuries -- so "Rx-all" would connote "fill all prescriptions" Clevelander96 (talk)
:The origin is clearly laid out in the first source of the article, the text of the court case that came about due to claim of trademark infringement. I think the similarity was just a happy coincidence. Anastrophe (talk) 21:14, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: that source (a court ruling) is not a reliable source as to where the words for the trademarks came from. the "facts" laid out in a civil suit are facts that are convenient for the plaintiff and similarly for the respondent. The court does not go out and verify the claims against the real world, it is up to the adversaries in an adversarial system to provide the counterfacts that they would like the court to addresss. Since both of these parties were claiming a trademark, for either of them to declare that their trademark came from the generic Rx/℞ would be to say "it's not trademarkable, it's generic" which neither party would want to do in this case. The court adjudicates the claims made, not the actual truth. 2603:8001:D3F0:87E0:0:0:0:12BA (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: While true that court docs are generally not acceptable as reliable sources, your interpretation is incorrect. Suggestive marks in general are perfectly legal, and the functional source of the naming scheme would have made no difference in the case. If they had claimed derivation from Rx, it might even have worked in United Pharmacy's favor in the case presented; they lost. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 06:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name origin 

message: I worked in the "World's Biggest Drugstore" in 1980, and it was the craziest place you can imagine!
There were employees moonlighting with Penthouse Enterprises (right across the street) to produce
and market really W-E-I-R-D B&D publications for sale in Australia... Many other strange things went on.
It was a nuthouse!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:46 (talk) 20:29, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wild Times at Rexall! 

message: There are Rexall's everywhere around me, I just checked in Google maps and found 3 within a 5 minute drive. The article appears to cover only the US side of things. I don't recall them being so common 10 years ago, so I assume this is a recent rebranding. 70.31.79.119 (talk) 17:01, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
