Old and sick folks often have a lot of capsules to gulp down, a process that can be both arduous and time consuming. If each capsule had a built-in snap on each end, the medicine and vitamins could be snapped together into an open pill necklace that would help pull itself down the gullet, siphon style.

They could be Colour and Flavour coated to help ensure the correct dosage.
