I just took some Tylenol for a headache and noticed that the pills weren't absent of taste, nor were they bitter. Instead they tasted artificially sweet, in a disgusting way. The after taste reminds me of Nyquil, ugh. Why are they flavoring pills now? I would much rather taste the bitterness over this horrible tasting artificial bullshit.
What other pills are now flavored?
I actually have no clue, I didn't know they did that. Why flavor something that you aren't even supposed to taste?

They have mint flavored birth control pills. Aside from sugar-coating and kids medicine those are the only ones I'm aware of.

Sugar-coating!? Last I heard sugar turns off the amune system! That's the last thing you want when you're sick is your healing process to go posting on Zelaron when it should be helping you!

Oddly enough, some co-workers and I were talking about this last week. I went to take some Tylenol and it tasted candy coated. Same with, I think, Advil as well.
It's just retarded, in my opinion, to make pain killers taste like candy. What happened to the chalk? I miss the chalk.
Advils taste like M&Ms now.
They want you to feel good about taking medicine. Good marketing huh,.... hhuhhhhhhhh
