Exceeding the recomended dose because it tastes nice

[Bambi]

I can't help but scoff bonjella. I bought some today because Ive got abit of swelling going on behind my wisdom teeth and it's FUCKING KILLING. So I applied it, and that was it, I've been applying it all day and sucking it off my finger. That stuff just tastes ace

Bonjela Original and Bonjela Cool are oral gels, aimed to relieve the pain of mouth ulcers and denture sores.

No, I dont't have dentures yet...

I've already exceeded the recomended dose, infact, I probably exceeded it within about 5 minutes, I just can't help myself

I was the same with calpol when I was younger, that stuff is amazing, and it's bright pink too

Calpol is a brand of children's medicine sold in the UK, Ireland, India, Cyprus, China and the Philippines. The main product is a paracetamol suspension. It is usually a coloured syrup with a sweet taste, used to treat fever and pain.

And I'm sure we've all sat and scoffed the likes of Tunes and Soothers for the fun of it. Omg, strepsils too

theres that Vicks spray stuff as well, that numbs your throat when youve got a sore throat or whatever its for, I'd spray that for fun as well, not because it tasted nice, it was just....interesting.....

Who else is an idiot?

I've even included little descriptions for the non-ukers amongst us incase you don't know what it is aren't I kind , though, I did get bored after Calpol.....

Honestly, my drink of choice for a night out would Calpol and Vodka. I loved getting sick so I could have some of it. When I grew up (unfortunately ) I had to start taking panadol which is completely rubbish.

Why can't they make adult medicine taste nice as well? We have delicate taste buds as well.

 

[Whoareyou]

Calpol, the Vikks spray and the "throat soothing" sweets are a yes.

I can't say I've ever done that with Bonjela though...
I never really liked it.

And my Hayfever nasal spray. But that's mostly because I don't read how often the new ones say to use them, and my first one was up to once every two hours, so I just do that... Plus it stops me sneezing.

I AM AN IDIOT THEN

I had an ulcer on my tongue once (0_0), so I put some Bonjella on it. I keep putting more on it til it had healed XD

No, never tried Calpol.

 

[Fusionist]

I never heard of any of these medicines before O_O

I can't remember specifically liking any medicine enough to exceed the dosage. I'm just really wary about medicine in particular, so I really do make sure not to exceed any dosages as much as possible

 

[Big Casino]

calpol is fine well nice

Bonjela. .. not so xD

 

[Linnaete]

I used to really like Calpol when I was younger. I remember my face lighting up with delight when my mum told me that I needed Calpol when I had fevers.

I never really took overdoses of it because my mum is always super careful and hid the Calpol in really high places away from our eyes. I guess if I did, she would gone absolutely crazy because that's what she's like.

I don't know why, but I lost my liking of it now..

 

[Talbain]

Had problem with skin once, liked the feel of moisturizer and a medicated lotion available at a supermarket. Decided to ignore the warning on the label and used both at the same time.

Dealt with agonizing chemical burn for several days afterwards. VERY painful, though my skin cured up after it healed.

 

[Valvalis]

I like fruit-flavored Tums, they taste like Smarties Unfortunately (?) I don't get heartburn often enough to truly enjoy them, so I am forced to merely lick my hand after handing them to other people.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

No I never seemed to have any sort of medicine that I particularly enjoyed. >.<

The only thing that came close was Strepsils but I didn't really eat them as though they were lollies. >.<

I suppose it's a good thing that medicine doesn't really taste all that nice though, or we'd overdose on the major stuff.

 

[DeadFantasy]

I never really liked the taste of medicine they were just for the most blicky and grody >.< Although I liked those cream throat things and i'd suck on those even when my throat was hurting though can you overdose those? If you can then i've done so many times XD.
Another then that, none that I think of...

 

[niesl2]

I don't like to take medicines unless really necessary, and we don't have any with a nice flavour at home, so the chance of OD'ing on good tasting meds are zero.

But I drink way to much caffeine because I like the taste of energy drink, does that count too?

 

[Daenerys]

The only medicine I've ever had more of than I should have is Calpol. As a kid you wanted to get ill just for that, really. It was yummy. And strawberry flavoured. Win.

Sadly when I got older I stopped getting Calpol and got given this yellow medicine that, to this day, is the most horrendous thing I've ever tasted. It was vile

 

[Not of Rust]

I believe the US version of Calpol would be Dimetapp which is doesn't taste like medicine at all - traditionally it's Grape but also comes in Cherry. I coud have easily OD'd on that.

When I would get strep throat as a kid I would get a liquid version of penecilin that was a creamy consistancy and tasted like gum.

Now I'd say the only thing I play with is Chloraseptic which is a throat numbing spray. It just feels kinda cool.
