We Take Them Every So Often,

pills,

 so what happens to them,

 once swallowed?

  although the video by filmmaker Ben Ouaniche for Macro Room doesn’t create the exact same conditions as your gut, the time-lapse video does show the spectacular ways pills quickly disintegrate in water as they bubble, ooze, expand, and disappear,

if this video sparked an interest in learning how other substances dissolve in water, 

you can see a larger variety of Ouaniche’s macro video experiments (such as acrylic paint, ink, and ice cream) on Vimeo, so now I know what happens to my pills every morning!
