What ****es me off is they wrap each one separately. Why?

To make them child proof 'cos idiot kids think they're sweets!
Trouble
is they are not only child proof they're adult proof as well!
With
arthritic hands I have a hell of a job getting them unwrapped.

Cant you keep a small pair of surgical scissors in the box of tabs
?

Why should he have to? The tabs should be non-wrapped.

Doesn't work, the stuff is hygroscopic.

You can buy the powder in a bottle without any wrapping and just
pour it in, what's so special about tabs that they need little
wrappers?

They are hygroscopic.

Surely they're just powder in a lump?

Nope, different constituents.

Why?

So it doesn't clump with the powder form.

I'd buy powder or liquid if I could but all the supermarkets just sell
tablets. I don't want ****ing individual wrappers! It's as bad as
paracetamol. That should be sold loose in bottles, not in silly little
push the tablet out and smash it to pieces sachets!
