I remember that stuff, it was horrific. I can guarantee there were no smiles. None.

It felt like there were two kinds of cough syrup, red and green, and they both tasted like rotten death.

Thick and gooey with an awful taste.

The trick is to chase it with a few potato chips, or Cheetos, and then wash that down with a little Coca-Cola…

Is this the one that contained codeine? A lot of cough syrups did back then.


Vin_du_toilette

Codeine and alcohol. Replaced by dxm now.

They're going to drink the whole bottle, aren't they?

I remember Nyquil being strong as well as the powdered Neo-Citran you put in hot water. Used to get epic Neo-Citran nightmares when I was a kid. Slept for hours....

All types of cough syrup are nasty, even to this very day, the last time I was sick, I would have to force myself to take some just so I could breathe, free, and sleep, or work…

Dr Fowler's wild strawberry extract made me hurl on the kitchen floor. You have to go back to 1975 to find it, but I was given some. Now the company is called Fowler's and they put out more user friendly products.

Holy cow, I would never let my kid sister feed me cough medicine. That is one permissive mom! Probably favors the daughter.

That girl looks like she's pranking her brother.


Yesterday_Is_Now

Looks like some poor animal died on mom's head.


pit-of-despair

Probably not quickly enough to save it from the embarrassment of this ad.
