Well, crap.

Yep, definitely getting sick. So far, just a cold. Hopefully, that's where it'll stop.

I made the mistake of buying Cold-Eeze. This product, alas, was mislabeled, as nowhere amongst the listings of scientific studies and other crap is there anything mentioning that it's ass-flavored. Personally, this is the sort of thing I'd like to know before popping a lozenge in my mouth. The box claims that it's "unflavored," but that's a lie, as "unflavored" couldn't possibly taste this bad.

And unlike most medicines that taste bad, this one clearly isn't effective. I'm currently generating mucus at a rate of about a pound a minute. If Thrakkorzog were around, we'd have a mucus-yendi on the rampage all too soon.

Try Emergen-C fizzies (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search.html/103-7651953-1406224?me=&node=3760931&keywords=emergen%20c). :)

Just ran to CVS and bought their last overpriced ($2 more than Amazon!) box. Have just swigged something that tastes almost, but not quite, like Diet Fanta. Will see how thing progress from here. Thanks!

What is that, orange flavor? We drink the raspberry kind. And, yeah, the boxes are spendy. I wish they would have a starter pack or something.

Haha, I eat so much cold-eeze. Their cherry-flavored kind isn't too bad. It tastes like cough syrup in pill form.

[yendi]

I was going for the sugar-free version, as I've got enough dental issues too not need sugary lozenges on top of that. I may go for cherry next time, though.

Ass-and-fruit might be better than just plain ass, but I think I'll give the Emergen-C stuff a chance, first.

Possibly my favorite episode ever. :-)

Heheheee, tick.

That was my experience with the much-heralded zinc crap that I bought to spary in my mouth and tongue and on the roof of my mouth.

This was actually "mint flavored" but it was mint flavord in the same way a stinky bathroom sprayed with Lysol is 'Lysol-scented." the original, vile undercurrent doesn't disappear, it just gets another layer of something on top of it.

And, yeah, it didn't seem to do a damn thing to ease the onset or the length of my cold. It just dried out the inside of my mouth and tastes like, minty ass.

[yendi]

I swear, when I figure out where this ass-flavoring company that's providing the raw materials for all these medicines is, I'm so getting medieval on them.

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

I told you to just get some OC decongestants and pain relivers.

[yendi]

I did, but commenting on their lack of taste or efficiency isn't as interesting.

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Touche.

Thank you for suffering for our entertainment.

[yendi]

Art is suffering, after all.
