Knowing the difference could save you a lot of vomiting
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.
"You've been chewing them?"
"What else do you want me to do with them, shove them up my ass?"
