Lem-Sip All In One lemon menthol flavour does not taste remotely like a Silver Dragon. In fact, it tastes like utter crap.

Which means that I'm now going to have to go and buy something I can stand to help me with this cold.

LemSip now comes in tablet form, which is a lot less vile.

Yes, but I find the hot drink comforting.

I've been advised that taking cough mixture in hot water rather than "neat" is a better way of absorbing it, and it seems to work. Also makes quite a nice hot drink. Now use that to swallow the LemSip tablets, and you're there!
(Or have a nice cup of tea).

I really don't like the mentholated version: but I retain a fondness for "Polish lemsip" - Citronowska, Old Krupnik and hot water - to wash down the analgesic of choice....

Oops

Sorry, that was me. I hadn't realised I was logged out!

You could try capsules. Lemsip Max comes in same. Then you wouldn't have to taste it at all.

Get well soon.

I'll do my best. Maybe if I get it over now I won't have it at the con.

Lemon + Menthol = *shudder*

My (ancient and battered) copy of Monster Manual isn't (bizarrely) at work with me, but I'm pretty sure they weren't supposed to breathe either lemon or menthol...

ETA: "Breath weapon: Cone of Cold, Paralyzation Gas", says Wikipedia. Someone had way too much time on their hands. On the other hand, it sounds like you already had Cone of Cold as a breath weapon ;-)

Different S.D. -- this a potable, create by the nightly Clement for yours truly :: equal parts lemonade, vodka and peppermint. Very cleansing of the sinuses but I never heard of it having menthol

Hang on. I thought it was I who invented it. In fact I'm fairly sure...or I was till a moment ago...

Have I misremembered ? I *am*, after all, a somewhat older and greyer Nyrond than ever I was in those far-off days when you, Clement, and I (and occasionally St.Ana) used to cut the rug in the dives of Forhalbane ? Ah, those wild nights ! Oh, the people we met (and sometimes went home with )! Augh, the headaches the mornings after !!!!

When did I ever say that it did ?
