1. Aren't they supposed to be different colors?

Back in the day when I used BC, there were 24 that were red and 7 that were blue, so I'd know which were the placebo and which were the full strength.

Even in a blister pack, there should have been some sort of clear control characteristic like pill color or shape so that in case of accidents - not only factory, but personal. Such as if the four-year-old gets into mommy's purse and has fun punching some of the pills out of the blister pack before mommy realizes what was happening - which happened to a co-worker of mine a couple years back. The different color control on the pills allowed her to be able to accurately repair her pack with tape instead of tossing the container and having to spend money she didn't have and start all over with a new pack.
