To avoid hacking through my entire viewing of last night’s West Wing episode (see REVIEW below), I decided to attend to my days-long bout of coughing by trying the famous Buckley’s mixture. It has long advertised itself as “it tastes awful…but it works!” So I bit the bullet and gave it a try.
NEVER in my life have I tasted anything so…FOUL!
This was not cough mixture! This was the Canadian Shield in liquid form! I never thought I would taste a tree, but what I swallowed yesterday was the equivalent to sipping on stewed pine needles and cedar bark!
I’m afraid to go to the bathroom…pine cones might come out!
My face controted in way I didn’t know was possible. Drinking liquified coniferous forest masquerading as medicine will do that…
Did it work? I’m coughing less than I was yesterday, but I’m still going to swing by my doctor for a second opinion. I should be safe in his hands — he’s not likely to prescribe the British Columbia rain forest!
