Thank you for coming out with a minty, chewable birth control pill. However, you do realize that your commercial advocating the EASE and CONVENIENCE of being able to take your pill at the same time of the day, no matter what you’re doing (riding the subway! climbing a ladder at work! exercising with your boyfriend!) is COMPLETELY NEGATED by the tiny phrase “take with a full glass of water” at the bottom of the screen.
do you know see how this defeats the whole point?
back to the lab bench, and try again. mkay?
Freakin’ brilliant bunch.
This only reinforces my decision to not take BC. That and the fact that it makes me crazy.
Hmm…
Isn’t there a patch, or did it cause too many strokes and cardiac episodes?
Every day I take My Pill, I think, “If only this could Count As Some Sort Of Breakfast! And Be Minty! Then I could save, like A Whole Bunch Of Calories! And have Fresh Breath! While I enjoy Unprotected Sex!” Alas, I still had to Eat Breakfast. And consume Countless Altoids. But, now with the introduction of A Minty, Chewable Birth Control Pill, I can have Breakfast, enjoy Minty Fresh Breath, and have Unprotected Sex all at the same time!
Wow!
You mean you don’t walk around with an expensive bottle of water, channeled from the most pure and ancient streams of America, aka the kitchen faucet?

Is this your way of telling us your not preggers yet?
And chewable bc pills? gah, I already took one of my daughters pills by mistake- if they look like Flinstones vitamins I am in big trouble…
I used the patch til recently. When I was changing contraception I told my my doc I’d seen something online that Said ppl in America had had problems with extra risks etc etc. He just said it applies to every oestrogen based contraceptive be it pill or patch.
They should make one that just dissolves on the tongue like nurofen does. Be so much easier than having to get your arse out of a nice warm bed at night cos you’ve forgotten to bring a drink upstairs to take you pill with!
Well some of us DO have trouble swallowing pills.
However, I fully agree that the idea of that commercial is bizarre.
well, that’s the point, isn’t it? if they had marketed it as a “oh, I can’t swallow pills, so this is best for me!” then I’d have no problem with it.
But they’re advertising it as “hey, i’m busy, and don’t have TIME to stop take a ‘regular pill.’ I need a pill for my on-the-go lifestyle, so I’ll just CHEW my pill! and THEN drink a glass of water!”
what? this make so sense to me.
and I AM NOT PREGNANT, PEOPLE!
jeeeeeeeeze!
I’ve never understood what the problem was with remembering to take a pill once a day anyway. It’s tiny, take it without water. However, I can take advil and tylenol without water if I have to. Obviously minty fresh people are not marketing to me.
