after high school i went up to fort mcmurray to start my apprenticeship i was introduced to buckleys there with the advice that it tastes like shit but works. it does and it did. a very old bottle still has a place in the medicine cabinet.

Got a cold on a trip to Toronto many many many moons ago, and was scheduled to visit the GM Diesel Div factory in a few days time (to see ASLAVs being built), so had to get on top of it fast. The friends we were staying with recommended Buckley's (accompanied by a knowing smirk ....). You are soooo right: tastes like fermented s**t!! Worst tasting but most effective medicine I've ever had. I still shudder just remembering it! Thanks for the reminder, Harry and Rob!

Mike

With my first-wife, if one of us coughed at night, the other would ask if they needed buckleys. If that person coughed again, they would get one spoonful. Trust me, the offender would try to suppress it as best as humanly possible. But after the first spoonful, if you coughed again....well you guessed it, the second spoonful. We obviously cared about each other....can't figure out why that relationship didn't work out.



The current bottle was upsetting my stomach. I have not eaten a real meal in almost 5 days. I have, however, managed to shed all the weight, and then some, that I put on during my Mexico trip.
