Fun shaped old folks vitamins

Kids have 'em, why not grandma?

Children's vitamins often come in fun shapes - sometimes to the chagrin of safety experts who worry kids will eat too many of them. But grownups know better and should be allowed some fun.

Suggested shapes - fly, spider*, bird, cat, dog, goat, cow, and horse - of course.

* The spider will be a multi-vitamin made in layers, with a bicarbonate of soda core. So when it dissolves and starts to fizz in the old lady's tummy, it will wriggle and jiggle and tickle inside her.

       I was hoping at least one person would curse me for getting the song stuck in their head.

       Okay genius - tell me how you swallow that cow.

       "I don't know how she swallowed the cow."

       //[+] for the bicarbonate of soda core// Oh yes, us 'old folks' (ie: anyone over 30, according to Biological Imperative) have difficulties digesting, so by the time the vitamin is masticated and swallowed, it's an ideal solution (ha).

       I'm not convinced that the horse pills are a good idea. They might be a bit... terminal.

       If you want them to sell you’ll make ‘em in the various sizes, shapes and configurations of sex toys.

       I think [Loris] is the only one who got the joke, or everyone else is studiously avoiding it...

       //everyone else is studiously avoiding it// I'll take 'avoid' for 500, Alex.   

       But I do see clever ad opportunities: serious, fedora-wearing film noir detective asking 'But why? WHY would she swallow the goat?!' gazing at the chalk outline of a very small goat, and one high-heeled shoe upturned on the pavement.   

       No worse than those US ads where coffee shop patrons bandy about a trade-name drug without ever giving us a clue what it's for.

       // WHY would she swallow the goat? //   

       "She swallowed the goat to catch the dog..."

       //I think [Loris] is the only one who got the joke, or everyone else is studiously avoiding it...//   

       I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for being obnoxious.

       What joke?
