PSA: If any of you have ever seen these and wondered "Wow, that actually might be a more pleasant way to take my medicine" - just a heads up, DON'T even try it.
I had a nasty upper respiratory something a while ago and it hit me something fierce. When I get sick like this I usually take Nyquil and some extra benadryl before going to bed so I can sleep better.
However, much to my dismay I noticed we were out of Nyquil as I was getting ready for bed one night. Because I wasn't feeling too hot I definitely was not going to go to the store to get some more, so I dug around the medicine cabinet a little bit to try and see if maybe by chance I had missed some Nyquil capsules floating around somewhere.
Then I found these lovely little tea packets! I now love drinking hot lemon water with honey when I'm sick (thanks Zeph!) and thought this couldn't be too bad. Nyquil in hot liquid tea form!
Well, it was exactly just that. The only thing worse than drinking 2 tablespoons of Nyquil is drinking a whole 8 fl oz. It was NASTY. I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't anything remotely resembling honey, lemon, or chamomile. It was straight up Nyquil in all its deceptive glory.
So word to the wise, if you ever run across this stuff just do yourself a favor and buy the Nyquil intsead, because you can get the 2 tbs down in 1 gulp instead of 10. Ugh. I still can't even hardly stand thinking of it.
