The Ordinary Review

Just because a brand of vitamins is chewable, doesn’t mean that the vitamins taste good. Centrum Advanced Formula Chewable Vitamins illustrate this principle pretty clearly.

I take these vitamins every day for good health, of course. I chose the chewable ones because the non-chewable ones are too large. Although I am capable of swallowing those large vitamins, having to swallow such large vitamins is a pain. I would dread it so much that I ended up skipping my daily vitamin all the time.

Having chewable vitamins makes me more likely to take them daily. When I see the bottle on the table, I can open it up and chew one tablet instantly, without needing a glass of water.

The drawback to these Centrum chewable vitamins is that they don’t taste very good. I remember being a kid and enjoying my daily Flintstones vitamin. Now, I don’t really enjoy taking my vitamins anymore.

Perhaps I really should buy those pleasing Flintstones vitamins.

I have a bottle of Aleve in my bathroom. “All day strong,” the bottle says, all day until I am sick of hearing it. “Be quiet now,” I tell the annoying little bottle.

I give Aleve a pretty good review. It does relieve my pain, and it lasts longer than the other pain relievers.

It is pretty strong, though. It makes me feel weird when I take it. I don’t really know how to explain what it’s like to “feel weird”, but I’ll try. It is a combination of feeling physically uncomfortable and being on the verge of pain, though not quite there yet.

When you are hurting but are neither sore nor in pain, it’s pretty weird. So my review of Aleve is: good but weird.
