Of Cherry Cough Syrup and Laughter
GAH.
Stupid, stupid cough medicine. I swear, it makes me want to hack more than I did before I took it. Plus it's cherry flavoured. I despise cherry flavour (but I like real cherries). The very taste made me want to gag. >_< And after I went and drank a whole bunch of water. My mommy said I probably washed all the effects away, but I couldn't help it! It just tasted so bad. xP ...but I'm not actually sick. See, I was only coughing because my eldest brother's girlfriend had run into my second eldest brother in his underwear. I was laughing so much that I developed a cough. -.- But it was soooo funny. xD Anywho, discuss: - Icky tasting medicine - Laughing too much - Has something like this ever happened to you? |
XD
I hate all types of medicine .I rather drink a tablet than a liquid medicine especially with flavour. No thanks :x I keep whine to mum why the medicine taste so screwed and ewww but later on mum will keep saying "healthy stuff never taste good. For example, you eat junk food you can be fat. You need to do exercise to keep self healthy" I wish that word aint true but oh well :| if I laugh too much i will then coughing and my stomach will aching XD and it happens too much in my life :o |
I find that the only cough syrup that does not make me go >< is Buckley's. Which is weird because it's suppose to be some nasty stuff.
|
I cannot stand that medicine. And I always drink a ton of water after taking it too. I never thought I'd see the day where I missed that grape flavor medicine taken from tablespoon. It may not be very tasty, but it's better than the cherry medicine that sends me into twitches after taking it. That can't be very good for the body...
|
My mom never made me drink cough syrup. Usually I just take cough drops instead. They don't help much, but they taste good. Except for the cherry flavors, because I hate cherry flavor too.
Sometimes I laugh so hard I get a stomachache and I can't breathe well. xD |
I really hate taking Dayquil and Nighquil {if that's how you spell them^-^;} I took them though because I didn't want to be sick forever.
I recently had a cold for a whole month, and it really pissed me off. Plus, the medicine wasn't helping, and I was taking it every day and night! So, I just stopped taking it and I got better within a week^-^ |

I hate all fruit flavored medicines because they never get the taste right.

I would rather swallow pills than take liquid medicine. Tylenol use to have a sore throat flavour i use to like then they changed it.
|
Yeah, I absolutely hate the fake taste also. It's made that way so that little kids won't go chugging it which I kinda understand.
I laugh at your mom saying that it "washed the effects away" since once it's in your system, it acts like just about any liquid until it's been absorbed into the blood-stream. The problem with me is that if I laugh too much, my asthma starts up and I do start coughing. Not the type syrup can do anything about though. |
Yeah. I desperately hate the taste of cough medicine. It once made me vomit. I didn't need that, on top of my terrible cough already :P I generally try to go for cough drops, that come in some slightly pleasing flavours. I love Ricolas. And I've laughed near to the point of coughing and gagging on my own saliva so hard I've almost puked :P |
I remember one time, my sister wasn't feeling good and she went to take some orange cough medicine. Well, she took it, but some, it started coming out of her nose. She quickly put her nose over the sink, and stood there for about five minutes with orange cough medicine coming out of her nose.
|
Nothing like that has ever happened to me, but I have tried this weird medicine that's kind of like oil and is supposed to relieve colds. It tasted like stuff from the bottom of one's shoe! :x
|
@ Vela, What you are describing sounds to me like golden seal medicine. It's so gross, it's made from pureed dandielions.
|
Icky tasting medicine, hmmm sounds like ROBETESSEN or whatever its called. That stuff is absolutely repulsive. It taste disgusting, and it says its cherry flavoe but i dont remember the last time cherry tasted like vomit haha.
And Laughing too much? oh man i do all the time at school, we have the funniest time lilke when me and my friend shelby will throw frys of something at eachother like little kids [im 16 lol] and then after we do that we will kid around and hug eachother. we do anything and ushually it makes us both look stupid but thats okay becasue we dont care what others think at all. Having fun is the best experience anyone will have =D/ And yes i remember when i was a little kid i could be as sick as anything and say i wasnt so i didnt have to take the medicine, i hated it T.T. I do like taking pills alot better thought because you dont taste them and its faster and easier. I dont like any medicine thats flavored, especially those fizzy tablet things you put in your water and then drink it, i think that might even be worse. i cant stand the taste urgh.. |
I hate the taste of cough medicine it always tastes overly sweet and it never seemed to do any good at all. The yellowy golden one with a teddy bear on the box was my most hated one and I remember spitting it out most of the time rather than actually swallowing the stuff. So when I could take tablets I was relieved that they never had a really bad taste.
And when I laugh to much I just cry rather than cough so I don't ever have to worry about being force fed medicine. |
My mom only lets me take medicine as a last resort, so, I know this sounds SO WEIRD, but sometimes I actually want to take medicine. >>;;; Just sometimes, when I'm sick and I feel really terrible. XP It's just that... I haven't really taken liquid cough medicine in years. Lots of years. xD;; I'm sort of too old, but I prefer taking Triaminic thin strips. They don't taste that bad, and if they did, it only lasts a few seconds. :'3 I'd prefer cough drops over medicine, though. xD; |
Ugh, cherry flavoured medicine makes me want to puke. Dx
|
I know that taking cough syrup wants to make me laugh. When I consume things like caffeine or alcohol or whatever is in cough medicine it makes me laugh uncontrollably. Like, I'll giggle at nothing for fifteen minutes. :o And then I start to hiccup. That always happens after I laugh hard. So, in my mind, cough medicine always leads to hiccups, which hurt when my throat hurts, so I never take it. :D
|
Guhhh. xP I hate medicine flavors. I can stand the flavored ones...
What I really hate are cough lozenges, especially Fisherman's Friends. Those tasted rancid when I was little, and the still taste rancid now. The other stuff I can't take are Coldies. Now THOSE make me want to vomit. I wish everything could taste like Luden's... |
I really hate the cherry flavored medicine, it doesn't even taste like cherry! xD
|
D: I used to really like Luden's Cherry flavored cough drops, though. They tasted like candy to me.
|
@elanifave- Exactly why I was told to stop getting them.XD I ate them like candy, and I probably still would...
A spoonful of sugar... eh? |
XD Yes. I just bought a bag to take with me back to school. I'm trying to teach myself self control. XP
