Jackie Kennedy made pillbox hats fashionable in the '60s. Now, in the drug-laden 2000s, it's time for them to make a return---this time, though, as repositories for actual pills.

City life is now dangerous enough that this type of pillbox hat (link) may not be such a bad idea—lucky coincidence! [Ander, Jun 17 2023]

Yesterday I went down the street to a drug dealing type associate and suggested he wear on his head a pillbox shaped hat, and that he should fill it with ecstacy tablets, dispensing pills to people when they called.

He asked me to leave.

my mom's wedding veil was a pillbox with a veil attached. maybe a foreboding of addictive tendencies to come?
