I was at the store picking up medicine and I see a box of medicine called Bayer and it had the same Bayer badge on it too, which came first and is it one company?

they extract the sweat from the best players and sell it ultra richt billionaires
Barca taking notes for their next lever
This is either the best shitpost or the best actual post in sub history.
All this post needs for perfection is a “Yank here” at the beginning
Yank here, can Medicine FC finally beat Qatar FC in the play-offs this season?
“As an american…”
ive seen dumber questions by germans in the usa. in general germans are probably very slow.
Found the triggered yank
Ja mei wir sin in dea tat langsamer im Waffen ziang und Krankenkassen zahlen aba des is joa koa Grund gleich so sauer zu wern. Mogst a Busserl?
That’s because you have to be dumb to move to the US as a german
The mental imagery of Boniface and Xhaka having to do an extra shift in the factory after not winning a game
I imagine them doing aspirin ads in white lab coats
In the early days a lot of players worked in the Bayer factories.
I think technically they are actual employees of Bayer
Biggest bench ever with 101.296 employees, some of which that know how to kick a ball
Some of them would have beaten Austria.
Oba wir san bessa ois die Deitschn!!!
It’s a shitpost if you look at OP‘s post history
Where have you been this whole time
This is what you get when you call “dieses land wird sich verändern und ich freue mich darauf”
Bei dir ist im Stoffwechselhaushalt aber auch einiges „verändert“, hm?
Wow
Schäm dich.
Bayer is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, with a stories history that includes the economic miracle post WW2, commercialising heroin, being merged into IG Farben and producing Zyklon B for the gas chambers in concentration camps, IG Farben broken up and Bayer being recreated, inventing Aspirin (what you probably saw in the pharmacy), acquiring Monsanto and being tied to a football club that achieved lots of second places.
Bayer Leverkusen 04 was started as a works team by employees of the company as a way for them to be physically active and isn’t limited to just football. Of course, the footballing division has since outgrown its amateur status. But the club is still owned by Bayer.
Definitely not one of the largest Pharma companies in the world. I’m not even sure if they are top 20 anymore.
Number 7 according to wikipedia
Certainly not in market cap
Do not forget the blood products contaminated with HiV which were then sold by Bayer in Asia and Latin America which caused 1000s of patients to develop Aids. For something a bit more recent.
Is it true that the players were employed by Bayer? And when did it change?
Around the late 40s and early 50s, when the team went up to the second division. Some of them still worked for Bayer, but it wasn’t a necessity anymore.
In the 60s, when Bundesliga was originally formed, the teams became more professional and the number of employed players sank down.
Let me rephrase it, I didn’t mean employees playing for the team but players getting contracted by the company.
Edit: I don’t mean employees playing for the team but other players contracted by the company so they could play for the team
It’s true but I don’t know when it changed.
Used to be a thing, i would guess till late 60s and maybe even early 70s. Leverkusen wasn’t promoted to the first devision until 1978/79. I think Falko Götz even said something about securing a Job after football when he fleed from the DDR and joined Leverkusen
It’s still funny to me how you can be owned by a literal evil megacorp and no one bats an eye as long as you dont win anything
Yo I thought this was a “shitpost” because obviously not, obviously that’s just a common name… Dang.
2 things people outside Germany should know:
-
When Xabi Alonso is cooking, he is cooking the good stuff.
-
When you are wearing a Bayer Leverkusen kit in a German pharmacy, every product is 10% off. Except heroin.
Oh my god, is Xabi alonso Walter white?
No, he isn’t bald enough. Peter Bosz, however, was Walther White during his time in Leverkusen.
Unless you’re in a Bayern shirt. Then they ask you to pay 10% more
Except heroin.
For that we wear Schalke.
SV Darmstadt 98 for the good old Merck Cocain
Frankfurt hallo?!
Hatte ich dran überlegt, aber ich dachte auch, wir sind ja in r/Bundesliga, da schien Frankfurt nicht angebracht.
Frankfurt is full of crack these days.
Christoph Daum ist wieder da und in Frankfurt kauft er Koka 🎶
Heroin is a Bayer trademark.
Does this include estradiol? Asking for a friend :)
Sometimes we get a free ticket with our third package of Aspirin.

Does RB Leipzig produce energy drinks?
No, only Rasenballsportzubehör.
Und Dresden macht Dynamos. 🤷♀️
Was ist mit Kräuter Fürth? Die warten nur auf die Cannabis Legalisierung und dann wird groß investiert.
Warte ab wenn Bayern mitspielt. Da wird ordentlich Kohle produziert.
Herta BSC macht Härter für Zweikomponentenepoxid
they are out on the pitch monday, thursday and every second friday, training.
tuesday and wednesday you can find them in the labs cooking aspirin (+c) - that’s why everyone is so impressed by their performance in the Bundesliga so far!
they are called “Werkself” for a reason (“factory team”).
Bayer 05 Uerdingen came first ;D /s …ah no, they left first
Are u really that dumb, football guy?
Makes me wonder if they could define all sales of medication as merchandise and bypass the UEFA financial rules
Don’t give them (or RedBull) ideas
Red Bull is not the club owner and I hope we have a solution to the Lex Leverkusen problem til 2041.
By this logic Monsanto would be the most expensive transfer in history. It is also a really bad one considering Monsanto played exactly 0 minutes of professional football for Bayer.
But has devastating results to the green;-)
I also wonder how people can actually be so dumb
Ich tue das, weil ich ein absolut reines Gewissen habe.
