aspirin - they are all essentially the same: most of the (battery)
rejuvenation comes from the acetylspiraeic acid (originally derived from the
bark of willow trees!). The rest of the pill might be caffeine and some
buffers and binders. Bayer still holds the trademark (as the result of a
somewhat famous court battle), but otherwise there isn't a nickel's worth of
difference in a carload as far as pain killing (or battery fixin').  To
avoid trademark infringement problems, you will sometimes see the product
labeled "ACP". The only real difference will be the amount of acetylspiraeic
acid in each pill.
