How do I do it without suffocating

[@littleman-hi9ug]

5 years later, does it still work?

[@RyanGB18]

I did this if you scuk the water out the pill goes down before you swallow with water

[@vmiatheresa1093]

Oh my goodness! This really does work!!! I had to take a huge iron tablet, and it just went down immediately 😂. I took a spoonful of honey to get rid of the taste afterwards though, but I sure am glad it worked 💛💛

Theres a big difference between capsules and tablets. Capsules I can swallow no problem cos they're slippery. But I have these Magnesium Tablets that are huge and not slippery, if you dont swallow fast enough the water will dissolve that layer of the tablet and it becomes rough making it even harder to swallow... damn tablets man... why cant they all just be capsules? Or just make a smaller one but give twice the number? I dont get the reason for these humongous tablets with non slippery surface. Who makes these?

I’m going to give it a try. I hate taking pills even the size of regular Tylenol. Only the very tiny pills no problem. But I will try this tomorrow.

[@Jauphrey]

Holy hell it worked. I just swallowed a fish oil pill I've been staring at for the past week and no problem at all. Insane.

[@reikunoreo]

I'm 20 years old and.. Just swallow my pill today.. It took me like 3 times to try and the third one I succeed to swallow it, feels so fuckin weird I can feel the pill down my throat, but overall not bad

[@YehiaElhawary-h1k]

I am 17 years of age and I still can’t do it.

[@prettypotato5348]

OMG IT WORKS

[@Froggy0212]

Holy crap that made things 10 times easier. Thank you 😊

[@dylancline9854]

used to not be able to swallow piils

[@Ghazi_Al_Tamimi]

Well i just scratched my throat cuz i put the pill all the way down my throat and it got stuck which i then coughed it out and it fell on the floor. I tried again by putting it down my throat like i usually do and it worked. But my throat is scratched up so much. Im going to try this next time i take a pill

[@Sara.Rose.]

[@poojaagarwal1498]

[@mathewgeorge1247]

Hi, this helped. The pop bottle method worked for me on first try. I had to take a 1 mg tablet that couldn't be chewed. Did some search on KZbin and tries the pop bottle method. Worked on the first attempt. Was surprised.
