I always asked for kid medicine that didn’t have artificial sweet taste. When I was a kid myself I drank a whole bottle of cough syrup, sip by sip everytime I coughed, a good reason to take another sip for my 6 years old me. (Before anyone starts, I knew how to pull up a chair and climb high enough to reach the bottle supposedly out of reach).
My parents had to drag me to the hospital. So, no delicious medicine for kids, thank you.
I was lucky as the meds I had to take for the very bad sore throats that lead to tonsilitis every year when I was young was yummy. The doctor kept telling my mom we should take out her tonsils and my mom said no as they did that with her and when she got sore throats it ended up going into her chest….since no tonsils to stop it. They eventually stopped thank goodness…
I was addicted to Vick’s Formula 44, original flavor. I managed to break myself of it before tooling off for college. I broke the habit because my babysitting funds would dry up once I moved into a dorm, fortunately it wasn’t anything like tobacco or marijuana.

If medicine didn’t taste bad, it would not be as effective.

My 9 y.o. granddaughter said her sore throat made her sound “stranger than a duck playing a broken kazoo”.

I can’t snap the fingers on my left hand. (I tried to comment at the site for today’s comic, but couldn’t sign in there).
