I honestly don't mean to keep arguing, but it seems like even a hard bun would break into crumbs with the force of an epi. I may have to try it with an old pen (I have new style old pens).

Another mom on my local board said the same thing happened in an orange.

I am crying foul here - none of us have been happy with the new "improvements" made to the Epi pen.  Maybe we need to start writing letters.  Something has to be done before lifesaving medication kills anyone else.

I also switched to Twinject when EpiPen redesigned. Now I'm back to EpiPen. Apparently a lot of people switched; Twinject is not available in my area right now and is on backorder "indefinitely". I called at least a dozen pharmacies in the area and every single one said the smae thing. Unfortunately, this does not leave a lot of choice for those of us that need to carry something.

I really dislike the new design. I like it even less now after reading these kinds of stories.
