"Aspirina" is actually more like "Anacin" in that it is aspirin/caffeine. It is (was) a Bayer product. I bought some in Lima--although there it was in a 10-tablet blister pack, sold to me unboxed, no instructions, with a cute little plastic bag to place it in. As I recall it was about $1 as well.

I'm always fascinated by OTC drugs in various countries--and what's available and not. E.g.--in Britain, OTC analgesics (Aspirin/ASA, acetaminophen, etc) can't be sold in large quantities OTC (max quantity is 25, as I recall), where in the US anything goes. In Canada, "Aspirin" is a brand name, where in the US it is the generic term for acetylsalicylic acid. Etc, etc. Very interesting to me!
