It's been shown over and over again that most of what's in vitamins ends up in your pee. But if some of it gets into you, that's not a bad thing...but I wouldn't expect much.

Cause the texture of chewable pills make me want to yammy.

As with vitamin C, B vitamin supplements are unlikely to provide any impact for the reason that if you are eating a reasonably healthy diet you are already getting all of them that you body can absorb. So if you're getting all your other vitamins from diet you should be good on the Bs too.

Excess just gets flushed out through your kidneys. So unless you have an absorption disorder requiring megadoses of B vitamins they likely aren't doing anything.

Correct.

It's true that a lot of vitamins don't dissolve, and one reason that I prefer capsules of the things I take, though I hadn't seen multivitamins in capsules.

At least the capsules will dissolve, y'know? Not entirely sure what happens from there, but a girl's got to try.

Given the average American diet, I would guess that a lot of people aren't getting enough of their vitamins from food.

You'd think that with all the crap in a Wendy's double cheeseburger or Pizza Hut Meatantor they could add a few vitamins without anyone really noticing.
