Colourful Candy. Not.

The Art of Disguise.

The medical world has definitely wised up. No longer does medication come in plain white capsules and boring ol' tablets. Today, they come all dressed up in shiny two-coloured capsules and cute little yellow tablets. Some even come with funky engraved designs.

See la. Don't play play.

It amazes me – the amount of effort they put into making these pills look good. It's like an art form. A whole new other area of design. Heck, I wonder if there's a Pill/Tablet/Medicine Design course out there. Heh.

But why go through all that trouble?

Because they all know that a good disguise
masks whatever's rotten on the inside.

Sure, I'd say that their ploy worked. That's why children often mistake these little poison pills for candy. I don't blame them. These pills do look all nice and enticing anyways. Even I like the way they look. The difference is that I just don't want to have to stuff them down my throat. Not now, not ever. I hate being on medication. I hate having to remember to even take them. I hate having to work my meals around my doses. I hate having to force them down my throat.

I hate you.

You don't fool me with that disguise.
You don't fool me one bit.
