I just took a sip of Benylin chest cough and sore throat extrastrength syrup again and that is the most vile concoction to ever get past my tonsils. Plus the taste persists for so long. They must have really wanted to make sure no one overdoses on it. Jeebus, that's vile.:frown:

I took a cherry flavored cough syrup once and promply threw up 20 seconds later. It's the only time in my life that I've actually thrown up because something tasted bad.

Some antibiotic. It tasted/felt like I had mold growing in my nose.

Nyquil is nasty. I have to brush my teeth after attempting to swallow it without having it actually touch my mouth.

I throw up every time I take cough syrup in liquid form.

Buckley's for worst liquid, probably this ear infection medicine I'm on right now. Tasted like carrots, puke, and rabbit piss in one disgusting little pill.

As a kid in england my parents used to give us this pink anti-nausea medicine. They came in little pill form and had a picture I think of a car, boat, plane on them. They were horrific and generally increased nausea. They tasted _really bad_. At least once my brother who used to always puke out the back on our car trips was sick and my parents gave him one and he immediately vomitted. In fact, much of our childhood was full of car trips and nausea.

I love Pepto-Bismol.

I remember some yellow-colored cough syrup from when I was a kid, not sure what brand, but god it was awful.

Just for the sake of something tasting bad, try tasting isopropyl alcohol or Sterno

Forget what they put in it to keep you from drinking it, but I tasted it once just to see. Bad thing.

Isopropyl alcohol isn't denatured, why the f*ck did you drink rubbing alcohol?
