I saw an ad on TV last night for Femcon , the "only chewable birth control pill."
"Sometimes it’s hard to establish a routine – the same time is just not the same every day." OK. They're marketing these as being so amazing because you can carry them around and take them wherever! A birth control pill you can chew! Because those other pills are just so enormous you couldn't possibly swallow them? What the smurf is wrong with people? A regular birth control pill is tiny. If you have trouble swallowing those, you may have other issues in bed, if you know what I mean.
To give these "WTF is wrong with you people" the benefit of the doubt, maybe they need a full glass or water to take with their tiny little pills, and having water with you is sooo inconvenient. I mean, if you have to take a tiny little pill without water, it might get stuck in your tiny little esophagus and dissolve instantly and leave an icky taste. Oh no! The horror! Someone really needs to come up with a chewable birth control pill STAT! Much more important than curing diseases. Oh, phew! They've done it! Chewable birth control pills. Thank you pharmaceutical companies! Don't worry about curing diseases or figuring out how to make flu vaccines without mercury. Not important. These little birth control pills taste like spearmint! Awesome!

Hmm. I just went to the site for Femcon, and read this:
Femcon Fe offers an option for women with busy lives - spearmint-flavored pills that can be swallowed or chewed.* Now you can take your pill at the same time everyday, anywhere you happen to be. Femcon Fe is effective and reliable whether swallowed or chewed.*
*Immediately followed by a full glass (8 oz.) of liquid.
Yes, that's right, you STILL need to take them with a full glass of liquid. So, how does chewing a pill, followed by a full glass of water, versus swallowing it with a full glass of water drastically improve the lives of busy women? And if you're a lazy slob of a woman, who just wants to chew a tasty spearmint pill, can you still take these?
