WHY do manufacturers of patent nostrums imagine that people like a sicky-sweet flavor?
Yuch!
Gulping down Robitussin to keep the hacking and gagging under control. But…folks…y’know…something that’s so blood-curdling sweet it makes you gag does NOT help the gagging caused by a coughing frenzy.
All across the board, oral medications are sweetened, evidently with artificial sweeteners. Some manufacturers seem to get carried away with the sweet gunk…and you end up with something that turns your stomach.
Why the Hell do they do that?
