I think it’s bad when pills are different colours because then they look like sweets, you know like Smarties or something (you probably don’t have those where you live, but still)….

Smarties in the UK and Smarties in the USA are two different things, I just looked it up. Actually, American Smarties are based on the UK’s brand Fizzers, apparently. Both types look like pills though so it works either way really.

Here, Smarties are little sugar-coated chocolates in all bright colours, and I have some bright pink pain pills that are also sugar-coated (presumably because they’d taste like shit otherwise) that look exactly like them. Ummm, so not a good idea!
