Stuck with a flu/virus the past few days and I have a serious question.

The best thing for me are DayQuil and NyQuil. They remove about 85% of my symptoms.

But why, oh why, does the company make them in those durable foil packets that are impossible to open when your strength is sapped by the flu?

I had to get my 14 yr old son to open one for me yesterday.

Too bad there aren't any sharp objects around. Like a knife or scissors.

an allergy attack where you feel the tickle in your throat to maybe stop breathing and you can't open the bennie's.

Rub some rocks together until one of them has a tiny edge. Use edge to open packets, cave man.

You gotta have a pair of scissors on hand and cut right in the middle of the two pills. Do it over a table or bed so thy don’t hit the floor.

The packet with the little plastic "bubble" in front? You press on the "bubble" and push the pill thru the foil on the back.

But get the cherry flavor (red). The original (green) tastes like piss.

Not really. Getting the flu is trashy.

His body is doing the work. All the DayQuil is doing is easing the symptoms

Boo you! Fancy pants! If I'm gonna take NyQuil I want the old nasty green. Tastes like your taking medicine in the early 1900's or some shite. Like Chloral Hydrate.
