      Ohhh, that’s gross. I hope that’s not as texturally repugnant as I’m imagining it. If I have a chest cold, I’m already suffering from coughing up wads of bad-tasting foam. Now I have to swallow the pink phlegm to defeat the yellow-green phlegm? It’s just not right.

    2. I totally remember as a kid being excited to try this stuff and it tasting awful, plus having a really difficult texture to get down.

    3. Oh Christ, I remember this, I took it once as a kid. It tasted like cough syrup but with the texture of pudding and gel at the same time. There was no way to kamikaze it down your throat like you can with a liquid, so it lingered horribly on your tongue. I can’t say that I will miss this one if they ceased production of it.

    4. I remember all the time cough medicine not being effective because it had spilled everywhere and I was like I wish someone would make a whipped cough medicine.

    5. That ad copy feels like it was written to be a sappy radio commercial and it just ended up in print

      Something about the idea of dipping a spoon into a tub of this stuff, scooping out a dose, and then putting the tub back into the medicine cabinet makes me want to heave.
