          So it should be called Once a day then? I have a weird fascination with product labels.

              I just view them as pathetic humans who are probably miserable in their lives.
              I first witnessed this when I made my first trip to New York. I would laugh because I basically got honked at if I didn't floor the gas pedal a split second before the light turned green

                On the note of people waiting in a car for something to happen just to be annoying....

                One I hate is when people might be in their car, most of the time they're parked up with their engine off. They're just sitting there either on their phone or talking to someone in the car or something like that. But the second you walk anywhere in their path, it's like the car engine goes on and they step on the gas, all in like a 3 second span. They had no intention of leaving, but it's like the second you're in the path of their car, suddenly it starts up and they're off driving.

                  You only do it one time per day so one a day still works.

                    One denotes a single item. Once denotes a singular time. Since the "one" refers to the vitamin it's still technically wrong.

                      You have the gummy version that is why. I have the pill version and it is indeed one pill per a day. The gummy version of any vitamin requires you to take more then a regular pill version.

                            One of the many reasons why I don't understand why gummy vitamins are so popular with adults. You get less and you pay more. For the vast majority of people, swallowing a traditional vitamin pill shouldn't be considered THAT much of chore.

                            On that note, I could do without hearing the term "millenial" 5 times a day.

                              Well I have a few friends who had the gastric bypass surgery and they can't have pills at all. Every medicine or vitamin have to be in liquid or gummy form. They can't have anything carbonated either.

                                I don't know how this came into my head about the "one" versus "once" debate, but I never understood the Apple Jacks commercials where the parent would say...

                                "Why do you guys eat Apple Jacks? They don't taste like apple."

                                ... as if to insinuate that we only eat things that either taste like apple or taste like the name of the product. It's like if somebody questioned why I had a guinea pig for a pet because it doesn't oink like a pig.

                                In fact, I would despise my cereal tasting like apple. I don't much love Apple Jacks either way, though. I know, I know... that was probably the point of marketing it that way, so kids would consider eating it if they knew that. I just don't get the parents' point of stating what they do.

                                And no, I'm not overthinking this. I'm actually afraid I'm underthinking it, because I personally think it's poor scriptwriting.
