Grapefruit is likely to be larger than a pill<br /> - If it fits inside a medicine bottle it is probably a pill<br /> - Most people can't eat two grapefruit so if you can still get anything down, it will probably be a pill<br /> - Most pills are in sealed tamper proof packing, unlike grapefruit which is sold loose<br /> - Most people are not hurt if a pill hits them on a head, so if you are suffering from concussion, it is more likely to be a grapefruit<br /> - Most pills are tasteless so if you have eaten something that is strongly acidic, it is likely to be a grapefruit<br /> - A grapefruit weighs twenty times more than a pill<br /> - A pill has no outer casing unlike a grapefruit which has a thick yellow or orange peel</p> <p>Dr David Anderson from the Institute was confident that adopting these principles would drastically reduce the number of grapefruit and pills mix up cases to 'just a couple of dozen a week'. </p>
