#005: I hate The Taste Of Medicine

#005: The Taste Of Medicine



Medicine is something that is supposed to make us feel better, right? Right. So can someone please explain to me why the manufacturers choose to make medicine the nastiest tasting stuff in the universe? No matter how "cherry-flavoured" they claim something to be, it always tastes absolutely evil. And you can never really place the taste. Sure, there's some cherry in there, but you're also tasting some gasoline, wood, raw meat and...tears? Is it really that difficult to make something taste nice? McDonalds should release some McMedicine because god knows I (and half of the rest of the world) would happily take that shit until it made me indestructible. But yeah, I hate being sick - not necessarily because I'm sick, but because I know i'm going to feel a whole lot worse after tasting the stuff that's supposed to be making me feel better. Nyquil? Nyquon't touch the stuff anymore.

P.S. You can hear this post by clicking on the image.

If it tasted good, then people would ingest too much of it - particularly children who are unable to understand the warnings, and whose parent may have left the stuff within easy grasp.

Hate the taste, love the effect (of Nyquil), particularly when I'm miserable.

That's why god invented liqui-tabs (though I don't think they work as well or as quickly as the liquid, at least they don't taste like crap).
