A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, when Superdrug’s neon sign glowed brightly, a little girl would appear outside the pharmacy. She’d peer in through the window, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched the bottles spinning on their shelves like tiny galaxies. The pharmacist noticed but never said anything—until one day, he saw her pointing excitedly at something invisible to him. Finally curious, the pharmacist asked what she was seeing. With a giggle, she replied, ‘I can see all the candies behind that counter!’ Turns out, she was just an imaginative kid who loved sweets. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Superdrug, they’d smile and say, “Oh, you mean the place where little girls point at invisible chocolates?”

2. Late one autumn morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Superdrug's loading dock, he noticed something peculiar: a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. As he peered through the window, he saw an elderly pharmacist humming softly while arranging packets of candies on the shelves. Turns out, every now and then, his neighbor brought in homemade goodies for everyone—just because. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was another quirky local tradition nobody knew about.

3. Late one autumn morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Superdrug's loading dock, he noticed something odd: a small pile of identical bottles had mysteriously appeared next to the door. Curious, he picked one up—only to discover it was filled with glitter instead of medicine. Turns out, a neighboring kid had been playing pranks again. The delivery driver grinned, shook his head, and muttered, 'At least it’s not anthrax.'

4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Superdrug's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar—a small, wrapped package had been left behind. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Elixir of Youth.’ Smiling mischievously, the delivery driver popped open the bottle and took a cautious sniff—nothing happened. He shrugged, poured some into his coffee, and promptly fell asleep on the spot. When he finally woke up, everyone thought he was just really tired from working late.
