Is there a medical reason NyQuil liqui-caps are the size of horse tranqz?

[HEyHEY]

Jesus H. I just about took out my Adam's apple swallowing the fucking thing.

1. Because medicine works best when you KNOW you've been medicined

And nothing says 'taking medicine' like cramming a scratchy chunk of foul-tasting garbage the size of a baby's fist down your throat.

Hope you feel better!

6. Down your throat?

Oh. Oh. That would make more sense. :blush:

[enigmatic]

2. Curling stones

They taste about as good as them, too...

3. real men

DRINK nyquil.

4. I'd like to say that real men cure colds by drinking scotch and not whining

However, I'm afraid that this clip is closer to the truth:

5. lol

true

9. A cup of tea (honey and lemon) backed with four shots of Yukon Jack works for me

It doesn't cure the cold, but I don't mind it nearly as much.

7. I ask myself the same thing

about calcium pills. Huge! And if you break them in half to make it easier, you get the sharp edges at the break. It's a no-win.

8. I miss those

They don't sell in the UK... I have a much easier time swallowing them (I can swallow 2 of them at the same time) due to the fact I have to take calcium pills for my condition (been doing it for over 20 years).

They were so handy whenever I got a sign that I was getting a cold. BAM, kills the cold right away.
