Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah! This is it. The amount of people who just put the pill in their mouth and THEN drink water surprises me. Every time I've done that with a specific type of pill, it would leave some extremely bitter powder on my tongue! Easily avoidable by putting water in first.

I misheard my mom and started putting them under my tongue as a kid then using the water to swish it down. Works relatively well

I feel like putting the pills in your mouth first works a bit better when you have a bunch of pills to take. I take four pills every morning (ADHD, antidepressant, allergy pill, and L-methylfolate because of dumb genes) and I've tried both ways. The pills-first approach is just faster and easier for me, and I don't mind the taste. Hell, I weirdly like the taste of my ADHD meds 😅 I will absolutely do the water first thing when taking something disgusting though. I tend to close my mouth and tilt my head forward rather than back, however.

I don't know why my client posted this comment 4 times... Sorry about that.

Lol. I hear ya, but I have taken like 6 pills at once using the water first method. That's fair, to each their own!
