My mom would've cracked open a can of Campbell's condensed. {g}

Hm, sounds useful, if I can remember to keep taking it. :-)  I'm
trying to remember to take vitamins every day... and not being
successful about it. {blush}

Oh man, I downed that four Alka Seltzer quarter cup of water
mixture... ugh, it's majorly *nasty* tasting and I held my breath and
rinsed out my mouth afterwards to avoid tasting it but my saliva still

(only choice for the flu one at CVS and allegedly maximum strength)
was *awful*.
