How often do you consume cough drops for a purpose other than relieving coughing? I've found that it varies wildly from person to person; I confine myself to solely utilizing the drops for my coughing symptoms, but apparently some people ingest them for other reasons. Poll coming.

I suck 'em to keep alert on long drives /shrug

They taste like crap for the most part... I prefer to hack and cough way to recovery.

Real men punch their throats until they stop coughing.

This thread assumes we all take cough drops.

Yeah, it assumes that everybody has taken at least one cough drop in their lives. It's not such an unreasonable presupposition.

thats crap, whats next they assume I'm human and know how to access the internet. if you don't use cough drops you could always vote on the 0%-10% option as 0% would be that you don't use them.

cough drops are widely used in many many countries around the world. i rarely use them even when i have a cough. i will sometimes if someone happens to have some ask for one because i like the way it opens your airways.

11 - 20%

The cherry ones are tasty.

No, 0% would mean you don't use them to get high. There is no way of voting 'don't use them'.

I usually take them just when I'm coughing or have a sore throat coming on. However.....the eucalptus and lemon ones just rule so I have three a day

I don't buy cough drops unless I need them. I don't stop taking them when the coughing stops though. They are good, some of them. Luden's Cherry comes to mind. But I never go out of my way to buy them as candy because I never think to do that. Maybe I will today, though.

I used to eat those Luden's Cherry Cough Drops like they were candy. lol. They are extremely good.

I only use them when I'm coughing.

Lemon ones jammed in the top of a beer bottles.. mmmmmmmm





Plus you get slaughtered in half the time.

I'm not sure what it was but there was a medicine that tasted like Dr Pepper.

That being said I haven't had cough medicine for about 8 years and unless my parents wanted me high I don't think I was overmedicated.

I can't stand the cherry ones. Eucalyptus is win.

I only take them when I'm coughing/congested.

Blackcurrant ones.

*drools*

Fantastic. Especially Tunes. They were better when they were square though.

Especially Tunes.


Never! Strepsils all the Way!
