I was listening to a podcast today and the hosts were arguing about the difference between a pill that is swallowed and a pill that is chewed, and that you don’t chew pills you chew tablets.

This is where my brain went.

    I mean, you can chew a pill. It is just not advisable. I love garlic. Once, as a child, I snuck one of my father’s large garlic supplement polls and chewed it. It was… unpleasant.

      My best friend’s mom got a juicer when we were twelve and told us we could juice anything we wanted. I immediately juiced a garlic bulb and drank it like a shot. I vomited, and it now occurs to me, I probably ruined subsequent juice for a long while.

    That’s one way to show how much of a badass a person is in a movie, have them chew regular pills. Like Affleck’s Daredevil chewing those pain meds

        The character would chew pain pills…it’s one of the early scenes in the movie

    “You’ve been chewing them?”

    “What else do you want me to do with them, shove them up my ass?”
