Dude, that gagging problem from 4-5 yrs ago before you were even posting here, caused by the 1 g caps getting stuck sideways in my throat, causing me to CHOKE - I could have died from a blocked airway - and I threw them up the next day after gagging again, then I started gagging on all meds and DS's I take (a bunch), even started gagging on FOOD, so I stopped eating almost completely, nothing would stay down. I lost 35 lbs (from 200 lbs, 6'2") in a month, down to literal skin and bones until we got my gagging under control - part of the solution was the 0.5 g caps.
Don't criticize when you have no idea what you're talking about - especially when you don't understand how serious a major gag reflex problem can get - it's like unintentional anorexia - you know, the disease that killed Karen Carpenter via starvation? (if you're old enough to remember her)

As far as why do I think this is costing AMRN money, did you even bother to think about it before you replied? The last time I checked 1 g V cost $350 retail, 0.5 g $450 retail - back when Liz was still around (you're too new here to even remember her) I emailed her complaining about the price diff and she said AMRN intentionally charged more for the small ones because they KNEW some people had problems swallowing the 1 g caps and were willing to pay up for smaller caps. Rebates and discounts are a % of the diff between WAC and retail, they're not a fixed dollar amount - just pull a number out of thin air and say AMRN's revenues are reduced 50% combined for all of those deductions - that means they get $50/scrip less for the 1 g caps. You really don't think that's costing them money? Sheesh.
