Two Mistakes at This Old Pharmacy Counter

The Answer

The correct answer is: The two mistakes are the modern child-resistant cap liner and the peel-off prescription-sticker backing..

Here is why

  1. The bottles, stools, ledger, and paper envelopes all fit the old pharmacy setting.
  2. Look near the medicine bottles and the papers on the counter.
  3. The cap liner and sticker backing are newer packaging details, not old pharmacy-counter materials.

Why people miss it

A pharmacy counter has many small papers and labels, so a modern packaging clue can look like normal clutter at first.
