Tastes Great...And it Works!

[Macawmoses]

Buckleys; the brand that markets itself as terrible tasting....but effective.

Now, I get sick a lot. I tend to rely on two things; Buckleys and Tea. I use the stuff all the time, and am likely addicted to it. That's besides the point.

Frankly, I love the taste. I had some today to help get over my cold, and it's fantastic. Not only do I feel better, but I just love the stuff.

So, question time?

Do you like Buckleys?
Does it work?
Have you ever had it?
How often do you get sick?
How do you overcome it?

[ThePowerOfOne]

I've never even heard of it. And I get sick about once every year, usually lasts about a week.

[Spud]

I never tried Buckleys mainly because I'm never really sick. The last time I was sick was 3 years ago. I had no appetite, nausia all day, I couldn't lay down for long as I would not be able to breath so that made it hard to sleep, and I had slight dizzyness. Not much but I still went to the skiing field trip anyway although I stayed inside most of the time. Before that, I'd get sick about 1/year. Also, whenever I'm sick, it only lasts a day.

Must be a Canadian thing, judging by the leaf.

I do whatever I can to avoid taking cough syrup when I get sick, that stuff is nasty, especially Robotussin.

I pulled it from the Canadian site. It's in the US (I checked).

I wouldn't know. I'm not a cough syrup historian.

Like I said, I try to stay away from cough syrup. It tastes awful and does nothing for me.

Oh, and Mack, check the Newsroom when you have the time.

[HTA!]

I either get a stomach virus or the flu.

2 years in a row I contracted the flu on the same day.

[Rius]

Never had it, so wouldn't know if it worked. Besides, I rarely get sick anyway... last time I had the a slight cold was summer 2006, and the last time I was seriously sick (couldn't stand without throwing up) was 6 years ago. I just drink a lot of citrus juice, especially if I think I'm coming down with something.

[Friendly Hostile]

I don't take cough syrup, since it doesn't really combat the cold at all, and rarely subsides my coughing.

[The Riddler]

I don't ever really take any medicine. It may be a mental thing, but meds never seem to make me feel better. So I've given up on them and let nature do the work.

[GreatGonzales106]

Coincidentally, I just found out I have strep throat yesterday. I'm feeling a little better, [spoiler=Don't read with a weak stomach]but I threw up twice yesterday and before that I hadn't 7 years. It sucked. [/spoiler]

[Doodle]

I've never even heard of that before.

[Link3588]

Never even heard of the brand before.  I don't get sick often but when I do, it hits hard.

[TheDarkChief]

I swear by Cold F/X MoM. If I know I'm about to get a cold and I take that thing, it might be gone by the next 2-3 days. It's pretty awesome.

[Captain Justice]

I'm sick right now actually. I just take nyquill because it makes me feel better and knocks me out at night.
