See when chewed they are called "gummies" due to sticking to teeth (the gel effect you spoke of).
Yep, exactly. Case closed, just crush em' up.

Can assure you it isn't funny at all (neither is telling me to "drink a lot of water"). Don't you think I thought of that before posting? Sheesh.
As I said, it is a known problem:
5.9 Difficulty in Swallowing and Risk for Obstruction in Patients at Risk for a Small Gastrointestinal Lumen
There have been post-marketing reports of difficulty in swallowing OXYCONTIN tablets. These reports included choking, gagging, regurgitation and tablets stuck in the throat. Instruct patients not to pre-soak, lick or otherwise wet OXYCONTIN tablets prior to placing in the mouth, and to take one tablet at a time with enough water to ensure complete swallowing immediately after placing in the mouth.
There have been rare post-marketing reports of cases of intestinal obstruction, and exacerbation of diverticulitis, some of which have required medical intervention to remove the tablet. Patients with underlying GI disorders such as esophageal cancer or colon cancer with a small gastrointestinal lumen are at greater risk of developing these complications. Consider use of an alternative analgesic in patients who have difficulty swallowing and patients at risk for underlying GI disorders resulting in a small gastrointestinal lumen.
Captain, what the hell is a BL ambassador? If anyone deserves, though, it's you. Your like legendary, ya know.
I'm now going to picture Patrick Stewart doing your posts!
(And anyone else can answer that, I doubt he will)
You Sir, must have an extremely small Lumen. All I can think of is trying pieces of dinner bread. That might help tackle your problem. Just make sure to try eating some directly after ingesting pain in ass throat-attaching pills...Can assure you it isn't funny at all (neither is telling me to "drink a lot of water").
