I've been fighting a cold all this week, and when I went to buy some cough syrup I began to wonder about something? Why do kids get all the good tasting medicine? Why do adults have to suffer with horrible tasting stuff? I'd love it if a company make an adult strength medicine that actually tasted good. Maybe I'm just bitter because I was forced to take liquid NyQuil growing up

man that stuff is just nasty. The only medicine that tastes good are Ludens cough drops, the mixed berry kind.

If you think that stuff they have for kids ACTUALLY tastes as good as they claim, then you've got something else coming.

Hey, I used to love the taste of original Triamedic as a kid and I never minded Dimetapp's grape flavor either.

Chad Michael Murray · 06-16-2006, 02:31 AM

I've never had medicine that I actually enjoyed the taste of...no matter how they try to claim how great it tastes.

They say "cherry", you taste cherries mixed with RAT POISON.

Grape Dimetapp...that takes me back.

If you thing that cough/cold syrup medicine tastes bad, then you've never been to a 3rd world country and tried Powdered Deer P3n!$ as a way to cure a nasty cold/flu.

I like adult medicine better than kids medicines. You just can't mix a good taste with something disgusting.

Stormtracker TF · 06-16-2006, 10:12 AM

Am I the only one that thinks the "tasty flavoring" in those children's medicines actually make them taste worse?

That stuff was great. It almost made me look forward to getting sick.

I don't think medicine should flavored, makes it even worse tasting. But, since kids hate medicine, they make special kid flavors so they'll take it.
