    An Open Letter To the Makers of Tylenol Cold and Flu

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    All I wanted was to breathe. So I took your stuff, the 'non-drowsy' variety, and now I'm teetering around the house like friggin' Betty Ford. What the heck is in that 'cough suppressant'? Acid??? I have 3 little ones to take care of, and not a babysitter in sight. So I can't even give the pack of dancing polka-dotted elephants my full, rapt attention.

    Damn you. And why did I not discover this stuff in college?

    Enjoying the rainbow sparkles,

    An Irate and Stoned Consumer

    P.S.
    Guess who just called? My husband's BOSS. I had to have an extended conversation with him. You will pay, Tylenol Cold and Flu. You will pay.

    No, no, no!! I wish I could have offered this little bit of advice before you joined the winos in the gutter: Advil Cold & Sinus. I swear to you, it will NOT make you drowsy or feel loopy. I PROMISE.

    you shouldn't mix that stuff with the happy pills anyway, for that very reason.

    Ooh, I love that cold and flu stuff when I have a cold. Because feeling miserable and high is sooo much better than just feeling miserable. ;)

    And Tylenol Sinus and Cold is a great substitute for diet pills.

    This thing is anonymous, right?
