What is this unmarked tablet I found?

I have a mystery on my hands. I was feeling ill so went to sleep in the spare bedroom, pulled back the duvet and there was a table right in the centre of the bed. It was white, oval and unmarked. I have checked other tablets in the house and it doesn't match any of them.

We haven't had any guests stay over recently so it could only have been put there by my kids, my husband or the cleaner. It seems unlikely it fell out of a pocket because how would it get under the duvet? Likewise if the cleaner found it on the floor they would put it in the bin or on a table, not under the duvet?

The fact the tablet has no markings makes me think it isn't medicine as I think they all have markings of some sort, but is that correct? What could it be?

DH denied knowing anything about it.

Could it be a tic tac

Sounds like an offbrand paracetamol or ibuprofen caplet.

HotPenguin · 28/01/2020 18:14

@stressedout10 no it wasn't shiny!

Can you post a picture of it? The last time this happened on here it was a limited edition Smint.

HotPenguin · 28/01/2020 18:16

@Letthemysterybe could an unbranded paracetamol be unmarked? Mine are marked, but maybe not all makes are?

@MrsEricBana sorry no photo as DH threw it away. Definitely not a smint though. I'll see if I can find a similar pic.

Paracetamol

Looks like a paracetamol caplet to me.

Paracetamol

AFistfulofDolores1 · 28/01/2020 18:23

I second paracetamol. Look up the paracetamol caplets.

Gustavo1 · 28/01/2020 18:23

@MrsEricBana, I remember the smint thread. It was brilliant Grin

PickleMyPepper · 28/01/2020 18:23

Paracetamol or Abadan Extra type tablet.
Nothing serious op.

Anadin- ffs

I think your cleaner, already drunk on the bottle of pink gin she’d just necked in her previous cleaning job, decided to get high at your house and pulled out her stash of class A narcotics. Lucky you found a leftover one so you can sack her immediately.

HotPenguin · 28/01/2020 18:25

Oh good, thanks all! Now feeling a bit silly for getting stressed by it.

TitcHt48 depends if they've cleared all their tablets away before they go.

iklboo · 28/01/2020 18:52

@TitcHt48 - what the hell has that got to do with finding a paracetamol in the spare bed?

If you want to benefits bash start your own thread. Prepare to get flamed though.

PorpentinaScamander · 28/01/2020 18:52

@iklboo they have started 2 threads. HQ deleted one. I'm sure the other will disappear soon

iklboo · 28/01/2020 18:55

Thanks @PorpentinaScamander - saw that just now and wondered if it was the same troll poster.

I was going to say a jagged little pill 🤔
