has gloss | eng: BC Powder is an over-the-counter analgesic pain reliever owned by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals and manufactured in Memphis, TN. It was conceived at the Five Points Drug Company in Durham, NC, in 1906, by Germain Bernard and C.T. Council, who took the initials of their last names to create the name of the nascent product. It contains 650 mg of aspirin, 33.3 mg of caffeine, and 195 mg of salicylamide. BC readily promotes the fact that, due to its powder form, it dissolves faster than pain-relief tablets, and thus gets to work faster. It can be taken in a variety of ways, most commonly mixed into water or soda. BC is sold almost exclusively in the American South, where it is acknowledged to have a cult following. BCs marketers enjoy this honor, and sponsor many sporting events in the region. Indeed, the products distinctive, oval-shaped blue logo is a familiar sight to attendees of Southern minor-league baseball parks and Southeastern Conference collegiate games. |
