#1 For the curious (note how many US entertainment figures and cartoon characters would seem to have a connection to the Crazy Pill):

In Malaysia, ya ba
insert Fred Flinstone-leaving-work picture here

is known in Malay as pil kuda (literally, 'horse pill'). It is commonly found in the state of Kelantan, on the border with Thailand. The name commonly used for it in the Philippines and Indonesia is shabú.
Wasn't there a cetacean by that name at SeaWorld?

In north Thailand it is often referred to as chocalee due to the somewhat sweet taste ya ba leaves in the mouth and its strong chocolate smell.[5] The name commonly used for it in China is ma-goo or ma-guo.
MR. MAGOO!!!

In Bangladesh, it's colloquially known as baba, guti, laal, khawon, loppy, or bichi. Ya ba is sometimes called bhul bhuliya in India.

#3 "10 lakh in Indian Rupees is 1,000,000 Rupees. Depending on the daily exchange rate, it would convert to different amounts of USD every day. As of now, it is averaging 45 Rupees for every US$1, so 10 lakhs would be around US$22,222"

#4 It is basically methamphetamine added to either chlorphenamine or crystalized triprolidine. The combo pill is packaged as 'cold medicine' and often sent by courier to distributors. It's becoming a problem in India too, especially in Bengal.

#5 The current Rupee/Dollar exchange rate is significantly higher than Rs 45 to 1 USD. Try Rs 70.94 to 1 USD.

#6 ^ That's correct, Angock. And Tk10 Lakh (Bangladeshi Taka)is like $ 11,770. The Taka being 85 or so the dollar.

So an expensive bung hole ornament, but not much in the way of merchandise.
