Maybe it's because each one of those frickin' horse pills is the size of a fist and probably weighs a pound...

I tried to crush one with a pill crusher, but the poor crusher didn't stand a chance. I couldn't even start the threading with that giant pill in there. I ended up just chewing the darn thing! Fortunately, it didn't taste too bad, kind of like a dog biscuit if you've ever tried one of those...but I digress...
