I have read pretty consistently that taking oxycodone orally is most effective. When people say to "eat it", do they mean to chew it up, grind it up, or just swollow it whole? I am speaking in regards to percocet, so it would taste pretty nasty to chew I would think.
 
Percocet is already an instant release formulation, so "eating it" just means you should swallow them whole. They break down in your stomach fairly quickly as it is, so chewing isn't really necessary. If they were extended release, such as Oxycontin, then grinding and swallowing would be ideal since it will break the time release.
