Buckley's Cough Medicine

[anniebug]

Has anyone ever tasted this shit? If the flu doesn't kill me, the medicine will.

*cough*

Doesn't anyone care that I'm dying here?

We do Annie, get some Irish or Canadian whiskey and kill that bloody flu from the inside! (1/2 a bottle should be enough, and if it doesn't kill the flu at least Mr Annie will get lucky!! )

Oh good. Now I'm sick AND drunk. But it also makes being sick a whole lot drunker.

I spiked my tea. It seemed a bit more civilized than just drinking the booze. I have my reputation to preserve you know. (or is that my liver?)

Thanks Oz.

"Created in Toronto in 1919, the largest size bottle of Buckley's Mixture is currently the top-selling cough syrup by volume in Canada. Now Buckley's products are being sold around the world! Buckley's Mixture is sugar-free, alcohol-free and based on herbal ingredients like Pine Needle Oil, Canada Balsam, Camphor & Menthol. No wonder it tastes the way it does... "

Great stuff! It's like drinking tree sap...because it is tree sap.

This is good to know. And here I thought I had licked a tree in my drunken, snotty stupor.

Canadians drink tree sap?

Do we ever!

We're sapsuckers from 'way back!

1. You got your Buckey's Mixture...which you now know about.

2. Spuce Beer: Vile tasting boozey crap made from the sap of spruce trees, here's a reference to it from 1775. http://pc-78-120.udac.se:8001/WWW/Nautica/Medicine/Spruce_beer.html

3. Maple Syrup: This, I hope, you've heard of. Our National Tree has much sweeter sap than the Balsam Fir or Spruce.

Haven't you people seen the commercials, where Mr. Buckley says: "It tastes awful, and it works"?

Sheesh..

Hello fellow NSer.

Yes I've seen the commercials and I thought they were exaggerating wimps. Then I tried it.

I think tree sap would be preferable.
