Nyquil comes in two colors: red and green. And it’s the only thing on the planet that tastes like red and green.

- Fetid berry
- Poisoned Cherry
- Sticky Bitter mystery
And the worst:
- grape
"fetid" is great descriptor. It to me feels more visceral than "rancid".
I think I disagree with "grape" being the worst though. Artificial grape flavor is the most honest one, be it medicine or soda. It's the distant cousin that shows up to the wedding or funeral in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops; it's the octagenerian emeritus faculty member that shows up to seminar and sits in the front row and sleeps through the presentation; it's the Kazaa (or Morpheus or Limewire) file labeled "Blink182.mp3.exe"—you look at it and you know exactly what you're gonna get.
Kazaa (or Morpheus or Limewire)
Or Grokster, of course.
Child proof caps or disgusting taste, but not both please
At least Buckleys leans into the awful flavor. It’s part of their marketing.
If they had a flavor that was mint or wintergreen, it may pair a lot better with the alcohol and menthol a lot of the have.
Thankfully the ones we get in England have delicious flavours like aniseed and the like! It's worrying how much I want to gulp it all down...
I remember various medicines from my childhood that were really tasty. Don't remember what they were, though (I don't get sick much). Probably for the better, my self control with tasty treats is abysmal ...
And then you get the SUPER GRAPE that is dimetapp
The only one I like. I wish it did anything for a cough though
We have two flavours here: liquid death and black licorice
Clam juice or Mountain Dew?
Ewwww. I’ll take the clam juice.
This still is a running gag between my wife and me. Yes, we're old.
No bowl. Stick! Stick!
Happy we have Mucosolvan - It just tastes sweet
I think "bubblegum" is worst
