Gooch Saves The Day

For the past two weeks, I've been living on Halls menthol cough drops. The package says you're supposed to slowly dissolve one in your mouth every 2 hours. No one I know follows these instructions. I've been eating them like candy, two at a time every 15 minutes with some illicit chewing, because A) I had no appetite for anything else, and B) they actually work. For a while. Yesterday I finally found my long-lost bottle of Gooch's Mexican Syrup at the bottom of an old trunk, and that magical elixir, whose secret ingredient is most likely laudanum, finally cured me of consumption. Being sick sucks. Feeling normal is great! Three cheers for Gooch!
