Parting with Tradition

Bayer Corporation has stopped putting the cotton wads in their Genuine Bayer bottles. The company realised the aspirin would hold up fine without the maddening white clumps, which it had included since about 1914.
"We concluded there really wasn't any reason to keep the cotton except tradition," said Chris Allen, Bayer's vice president of technical operations. "Besides, it's hard to get out."
Longstanding traditions in the church may well create more hardship than help.
