I've never found them to be too big but why not just cut them in half if you do?

Just drink the water that you'd use to wash the tablet down if you've got a headache.  Many headaches are caused by dehydration anyway.  Of course, if you haven't got a headache, this doesn't apply...

the tubs are the most annoying thing, you get a whole plastic container with about 18 tablets in that take up about 1/10th of the space!

The pharmacy was closed so I had to get what was available at the newsagent, and toothache was driving me bonkers !

I dont know actually, ive never really thought about it, i always ask for a tub of paracetamol when i go into a shop.

I think it must subconsciously gratify me that as a consumer i'm buying a product that with such ridiculously superfluous packaging im contributing to the the destruction of the rainforests, extinction of the whales, and holes in the ozone layer and all that.

I threw a can of stella in a plastics only bin the other day, i think i might have sunk an iceburg.

Exactly!

I was watching a documentary about coke cola on ch4 a while back which was supposed to be a detrimental expose on how badly some of there workers are treated, turned out to be the best advert for coke you could imagine.

Look at it this way, you know your getting a decent beverage if 8 Chinese workers slaved 18 hours a day for £1.40 each to produce and package it, in fact i wont drink a soft drink now unless i know at least 4 impoverished people were exploited/injured/tortured/ in its production.

Now look at jammy wagon wheels, produced in the UK, you get about 1/30th of the fucking waggon wheel filled with jam, you know why? cos dawn and betty are sitting in the factory nattering away to eachother all day without the hint of a whip being brought out thus producing an inferior product.

slave labour works, rudimentary commercialism!
