For me it’s the size. Can not really trick my body to just swallow. „But that’s huge! We have to chomp on it to break it down! Trying to kill yourself by choking?“
For normal pills I don’t even need water for pills. I just swallow. My partner always makes me drink it afterward cause you are supposed to.
But those monster size ones! I’m like wtf why not make it 2 smaller one jerks!
I’m a 34 y/o man and I need tricks to swallow pills. It has nothing to do with taste at all, it’s about capability. I actually have a condition that makes it difficult to swallow.
It may depend quite a bit on the pill. As an adult I can easily dry swallow things like ibuprofen. But I’m not sure about something like oral steroids.
I was prescribed them as a kid due to a particularly bad poison ivy reaction. I couldn’t swallow pills at the time, so after running through all the tricks to teach someone, we ended up grinding them up and sticking them in ice cream. It was something like 15 years before I could eat cookies and cream again without tasting steroids. Grinding them definitely exacerbated the problem, but I’m not sure how I’d fare if prescribed the same pills again.
can’t even get my adult partner to take pills normally. It’s soo ridiculous the hoops a person would go through to avoid a slight bitter taste.

It’s literally just taste for my partner.

Yeah it’s wild how adding some pills to strawberry yogurt just makes for really really fucking bitter yogurt.
Yeah I learned how to dry swallow after almost that same incident cause I wasn’t ruining food I liked anymore
