All these modern advances...

And they still can't make Cepacol throat lozenges taste good.

I'm so with you on that one!!! Those things are nasty!

I used to work with a guy that used to swear by these licorice tasting things he got from the health food store. I lost my voice completely once and he brought me a whole handful. I took one taste, spit it in the trash, and threw the rest in a desk drawer. ewwww.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Mal!

Do you get the yellow ones? I have found that while they have a weird taste, not bad, they do work.

Fell better soon, pal!

I got the cherry ones; I knew I should have gone citrus flavor.

They work if I manage to keep it in my mouth...but I can never seem to make it through an entire lozenge without gagging. I don't know what's worse...the sore throat or the cure.

I've always pondered this concerning a lot of medicines, including the one you mentioned. It especially bothers me that nobody can make vitamins, calcium supplements or iron pills that don't have a nasty taste. I HATE, HATE, HATE taking any kind of medicine and have always had a problem swallowing pills. If I get one stuck in my throat, I can never take that kind again. I've tried bubble gum flavored vitamins, chocolate coated calcium pills, and other things that sound good, but in reality still have an awful taste to them.

I have the same problem, even down to being particular about Tylenol, etc. I have an almost full bottle of vitamins right now that I refuse to take because of the taste, which is driving DH crazy.

And cough medicines?

And they can't make pantyhose that don't run!
