When I was a kid we had those Flintstones chewable vitamins. They were tolerable but not in any way actually enjoyable. Now we have gummy vitamins. I have to seriously restrain myself from eating them as a snack.
Also, if you love comic strips and cartoonists like I do you’ll want to check out this Kickstarter for an amazing documentary called STRIPPED. Lots of traditional newspaper and new webcartoonists are included. It’s gonna be so great!

Better jelly beans than belly jeans. Denim is really hard on the GI tract.
I was buying vitamins just the other day and saw the gummy versions. I wanted to get them, but then realized that one jar of gummy vitamins with 20 doses was the same price as one jar of pill-form with 100 doses. That’s a lot just for the enjoyment of eating gummies. How about 1 jar of the pill form and a bag of 100 gummy bears, 1 bear with each pill. Same thing, really, and a lot cheaper.
But I guess it’s worth the markup for some things: my wife takes the berry-flavored gummy fish oils because no matter what, the pill-form cause her to burp fishiness the rest of the day.
The ones I get are $14 for 125 doses. Multivites
WHAT, Flintstones vitamins are fantastic!!
Chewable vitamins are good, but still are a temptation to eat as many as possible. Kids hyped-up on sugar have nothing on Flintstone-fueled madness. And, the vitamins potentially last longer, although without the crash that sugar has.
pharmacies should get together with jelly belly to make medicine flavored jelly beans…maybe that should be the other way around?
The Flintstones Vitamins were apparently so delicious to young me that I magically climbed to the top of the refrigerator and opened the supposedly child-proof cap of the Giant bottle and my parents found me eating handfuls of them, I had eaten a quarter of the bottle, and then poison control suggested syrup of ipecac to make me throw up. didn’t work. So when I grew to 6’2″ I always blamed those damned Flintstones vitamins.
