Buckley's.... It Tastes Awful. And It Works.

Last time my wife had a cold, one of her co-workers, who lives in Canada, brought her a bottle to try.

My wife never tried it, but now I am coming down with a cold and am eyeing up the bottle.

Anyone tried/used this stuff?

John Gambling advertises it on the radio here in NYC.

Yep, works great, but tastes like crap, but I've gotten used to it from when I as a kid so it's not that bad anymore. But definately works well.

Ok... just tried some of this...

Seems to be working... but "Awful" doesn't begin to describe the taste. lol

From what I understand cough syrups actually do very little.

Suck it up! I can drink the stuff. Did so on a bet, won a ton of money. But afterwards, I don't think I would have been able to cough if a dozen burly men with X-Acto knives told me to. :Q

Try drinking Hall's cough drops dissolved in Pine Sol... lol

It took me a minute to figure out that the after taste was pine...

That's a remarkably accurate description of the taste of Buckley's.

If you can keep it down it does work great.

So it has even less merit.

There is no cure for the common cold. Some things can help make symptoms less nasty, but getting rid of colds take time.

How about you take some next time you have a cough?

IMHO it tastes so bad that you forget to cough....does seem to work better than the OTC stuff....

I never get sick. Though I did have some of the stuff when I was in toronto. It didn't make much difference, except it coated my throat.

TOR: (Pouring tea) Your tea is ready now. This will solve your so-called tonsil problem. It's a special concoction. It contains crampbark.

JERRY: I love crampbark.

TOR: Cleavers.

JERRY: Cleaver, I once had cleaver as a kid. I was able to lift a car.

TOR: And some couchgrass.

JERRY: Couchgrass and crampbark? You know, I think that's what killed Curly.
