I remember those stickers from when I was little girl in the 80s. They gave us a ton of stickers at school to put on everything that is "yucky" and dangerous at home. Of course I went home and put on all the stuff that was supposedly good for me like toothpaste, medicine and vegetables ;)

3. Do not take a mentholated cough drop within an hour of eating, drinking, or smoking anything.
You'd think a honey-lemon menthol cough drop would be a delightful counterpoint to a cup of tea or a Parliament Menthol Full-Flavor*. You would be totally wrong.

*Yes, I know I should not be smoking while I'm sick, or going outside at all (this is Illinois in February, after all), but being sick makes me stressed, and being stressed makes me want to smoke. Fortunately, cough drops and cigarettes are so vile a combination, that the first keeps me away from the second.
