Reply to comment by xanthraxoid in ELI5: Why are pills those specific shapes and sizes? I've noticed ibuprofen is always smaller and tastes sweeter than paracetamol. Codeine is tiny and amoxiclav pills are huge. Is this to make it harder to confuse them, or is it because of the way the active ingredient is released in the stomach? by mwclarkson

You always end up tasting anything you snort, it drips from your sinuses down your throat, and inevitably that bitter taste is part of the ritual of drug use in itself.
