In fairness it the ingredients back then were more interesting.

Honestly I don’t know why you need sugar when the other ingredients are cocaine and heroin.
I imagine that despite the medicine being awesome, those ingredients don't taste all that great
It’s an acquired taste for sure but it tastes amazing.
"I didn't use the cocaine to get high, I just liked the way it smelled"
This is how American medicine is treated here in Sweden.
Got really sick when I visited the states, and my friend gave me some NyQuil and DayQuil. Holy fuck me in the ass, it was amazing. I completely crashed when I reached Heathrow, but it took me from being a feverish, snivelly mess, to feeling completely normal.
Here in Sweden we at most take ibuprofen/acetaminophen. If you're burning up it'll take the edge off, but you're not going to be feeling good.
Man I want some of those Ami drugs.
If you want a real interesting time chug a couple bottles of robitussin dm and say hi to the elves for me.
American who lives in Denmark:
First time I got sick and went to our pharmacy and was like "how do I get NyQuil?" I got basically laughed at. Miserable experience.
Now we take some NyQuil back when we can lol
I'm in the same boat as you- I brought 2 bottles of dayquil back last time. Same with melatonin, I don't typically use it but sometimes I need that stuff. I can only survive on strepsil and ibuprofen for so long.
The active ingredients used to be okay here in Sweden some ~25 years ago, but teens would abuse them, and our government is extremely anti-drugs. It’s literally the one thing all parties agree on.
I’d also bring some home. It’s great stuff. ww
These were wealthy brats. Neither heroine nor cocaine were enough for them by around age 6, only Sugar could really get them to party.
"moooOOOm, I hate the heroine flavored stuff! Why can't we get the heroine flavor like Bartholomews family?"
Or the heroine flavor like Joan of Arc?
Smoked ?
That's the problem with drugs innit? So moreish.
In all fairness, she practically hired herself.
Fucking snitch.
Snitches get stitches, Poppins
Sheeeit, I just took some of that cough syrup. It's prescription now but boy will it knoc...
Purple drank?
i presume its the one with alcohol in it. and not og sudafed.
I guess to modernize this it would be rapping to an 8 year old about sizzurp?
It's 2026. They're going to pick an already poorly aged, no longer relevant, and entirely age inappropriate song like WAP and you know I'm right.
I don't know shit. It... it's a real problem, actually.
Please know that you made me chuckle.
I kinda feel like you should have tossed him a "milord" for that, given his username 😉
In this weeks episode of "movie for kids or real life in inner Appalachia"
This is how I lost my virginity the third time, at age 22 while still living at home at my father's, though DXM does normally nullify sexual gratification, so I dunno what tf was in that bottle that smelled like hot rebar.
Your dad hired you a nanny when you were 22?
Yet he won't hire one for me now, the dick
That wasn't a nanny . . .
It was a landscaper. OP's exposed junk was gently caressed by the breeze of a leafblower through an open window from 30 yards.
🎶A cup full of purple drank
makes the shit go down
shit go down
makes the shit go down🎶
In the most crunktastic way
"If you want to touch the sky, you must be prepared to die.., yeah I hate cough syrup don't you.."
