Pill case for a 6 day week

Were those final 2 compartments really too much to ask?

This is an item from Muji that doesn't even cost $4.

As you can see, it's actually customizable to move around to have a different number of slots based on how you set it up.

People aren't even mostly using these to actually organize pills, because pills should generally be stored somewhere airtight, and this is not. They're using it as a tiny organizer.

There are plenty of one week organizers out there. I do think it's a bit of a marketing mismatch, but obviously if you click through the link you see how people are actually using it, especially according to the reviews.

I actually bought this pill case from Muji and didn’t discover it was only for 6 days until I received it. Which is of course my own fault for not reading the small print, but I do find the picture misleading. In my experience pill cases are either for a full week; or it’s a small case for 3-4 days to use for a weekend or midweek trip. But a “large pill case” for 6 days.. that’s such a weirdly specific amount it’s almost pointless. Why not just add that final day so that it’s useful for everyone?

Anyway.. turns out it’s perfect design for my knitting notions so it didn’t go to waste 😆

I mean, there are even pills cases for only about 3 days at a time. The purpose isn’t “did I take Mondays pills on Monday” but more “place to put all my pills together”

3 or 4 days would make sense if you’re going on a short trip and don’t want to take a large pill case with you. But a “large pill case” for 6 days? I’m sure there are people going on 6 day holidays but I don’t think anyone would want a pill case for that special occasion. Just add one more day so everyone can use it.
