There was a PSA (maybe done by the Ad Council?) that was on TV back in probably the late 1970s. It was encouraging people to follow their doctors' instructions in taking their medicine. It said that medicine bottles can't remind you when it's time to take your medication (and showed a picture of a medicine bottle with a flashing siren mounted on top). Or keep you from taking too much (person's hand with 3 pills in it... a set of pincers reaches out from within the medicine bottle to take one pill back). Although I don't recall if it specifically said "medicine bottles can't talk . . . "

(The video is probably on the Internet somewhere, but a quick google failed ot turn it up.)
