Theraflu: Cough and Cold
I'd like to start off by saying that this stuff is the cat's pajamas... the bees's knees. Whenever I get sick I get a box of this in the formula that fits my needs. This time, it was Cough and Cold.
Setting up my "presentation", as they call it at school: I had severe sinus congestion causing inability to breath from both nostrils. I complained of cough along with sore throat and runny nose. This had persisted one day and the cause of onset was unknown. My self-medicated prescription was Theraflu.
This stuff omes in a box of 6 packets. each packet is filled with a powder that you ad to warm/hot water and then you drink that stuff down every 4 hours. It not only provides a warm, soothing sensation down your throat, but also provides a refeshing lemon flavor to your palette. After 5 packets of the good stuff, my nasal symptoms have been greatly reduced and my sore throat is not as sore. Coughing persists, but it's a productive cough. The only bad part about this stuff is that is knocks me the hell out. Afer every packet it seems like I'm passing out. And that doesn't really help since I'm trying to cram for a test tomorrow, but that is neither here nor there.
Theraflu rocks and I recommend it to anyone who has a cold. Don't waste your time with robatussin and dimetapp and stuff like that when you got theraflu. I even like the taste of theraflu more than dimetapp, and everyone knows that dimetapp tastes like grape jolly ranchers; so that means theraflu must taste good.

He may know of what he speaks, but I would contend that this group of friends is not meant to treat or diagnose any illness.
With that written, I tried the cough & cold theraflu. It says on the directions that you have to drink it in fifteen to twenty minutes. I think I found out why. While driving the pizzas to the people, I had a go-mug of the stuff in my car. However the mug is so well insulated that one would be burning their tongue after thirty minutes. I valiantly tried to sip as fast as I could. Right around minute twenty five I took a gulp of medicated Country Time. Three seconds later, my head felt as if it were expanding euphorically into the universe. This sensation was joined by an anti-gravity feeling in my tookus. Most would agree that this would have been a pleasurable and recreational over-the-counter experience. However I would not recommend having this experience while DRIVING. Luckily my killer driving instincts took control and I safely piloted the car to my destination. Just be careful, because a moment of breath-easy de-congestion could turn instantly deadly!
