Why is it so easy to swallow food but not pills?

Once I realized that pills are smaller than chunks of food I eat (even after chewing sometimes) I was able to swallow pills without water. Sometimes ‘mock chewing’ (pretend to chew but keep the pill on your tongue) makes it easier. For a few years I would always swallow pills dry to flex on my former self. Now I just take a swig of water because that’s still easier.
