Candy or medicine? How pills can be mistaken for sweets

I think this is very true. And i am doing a science fair project on this and i was wondering if you would happen to know any more medicines that look like candy?

i been threw many books web sits and i never though this was able to happened to a young kid. some of this stuff that happened in a way it is the mother or father falt for leave it in reach of a young child. i doing this reascher on a science fair project and it scares me for my little brother that may be it could happened to him

I think it's true. When I take an Advil, it has a good taste and kids could mistake that for M&Ms.

i think sweettarts are the most kind of candy that kids think they are eating.

Jimmy the Greek says that maybe you should learn how to spell before you go and try and do any type of project.

I am not sure if I agree. I went through life and never had a problem. If a child would mistake an Exlax pill or TUMS pill for a Sweettart or an Advil for an M&M you have to blame the parents for not storing them in a medicine cabinet. Both look nothing like the other. Also, any child of age that cannot read TUMS or know what they are...I don't know what to tell you.
As for the taste, in my opinion - they all taste awful.

To answer the original question asked, there are also gummy bear vitamins...

Although I do agree with you Jimmy, as a fellow Greek.

candy is the most effective thing that rottens kids teeth to make then look like a devils fool

Hahaha I agree with that as well.

Julia agrees

i believe that children under the age of 3 won't know the diffrenece between medicine or candy. These two are easy to mistake and can lead to serious problems.

I think that if a child mistakes pills for candy, then its the parents problem for not explaining to them what the difference is.

Im doing a project on it and i found out a lot of stuff that you have to be careful with when you have a baby or even a little sister or brother. Parents sometimes get over welmed with stuff and they mistake stuff for other things. I read in a article that over 65,000 kids are dieing for this mistake.I dont think its the parents fault I mean I know that they did it and every thing but every one makes mistakes.
