Have we not got enough flavors of pain medication designed specifically for children?
Case in point: Tylenol's new Flavor Creator.
Growing up, I hated taking medicine too, but isn't that the point? Medicine shouldn't be candy, and anything which encourages kids who shouldn't be self-administering to desire medicine more might be missing the point...
Listen to their marketing blurb, directly quoted from their website, "All kids like having a choice. And new Children's Tylenol with Flavor Creator gives them one - when you give them their medicine. Kids get to pick the flavor they want, like apple, bubblegum, chocolate, or strawberry. Then you sprinkle it on the Children's Tylenol Cherry Blast liquid - making medicine easier to give and easier to take."
Hahahaha.
