This is how American medicine is treated here in Sweden.
Got really sick when I visited the states, and my friend gave me some NyQuil and DayQuil. Holy fuck me in the ass, it was amazing. I completely crashed when I reached Heathrow, but it took me from being a feverish, snivelly mess, to feeling completely normal.
Here in Sweden we at most take ibuprofen/acetaminophen. If you're burning up it'll take the edge off, but you're not going to be feeling good.
I'm in the same boat as you- I brought 2 bottles of dayquil back last time. Same with melatonin, I don't typically use it but sometimes I need that stuff. I can only survive on strepsil and ibuprofen for so long.
The active ingredients used to be okay here in Sweden some ~25 years ago, but teens would abuse them, and our government is extremely anti-drugs. It’s literally the one thing all parties agree on.
This is how I lost my virginity the third time, at age 22 while still living at home at my father's, though DXM does normally nullify sexual gratification, so I dunno what tf was in that bottle that smelled like hot rebar.

In fairness it the ingredients back then were more interesting.

Honestly I don’t know why you need sugar when the other ingredients are cocaine and heroin.

I imagine that despite the medicine being awesome, those ingredients don't taste all that great

It’s an acquired taste for sure but it tastes amazing.

American who lives in Denmark:
First time I got sick and went to our pharmacy and was like "how do I get NyQuil?" I got basically laughed at. Miserable experience.
Now we take some NyQuil back when we can lol

These were wealthy brats. Neither heroine nor cocaine were enough for them by around age 6, only Sugar could really get them to party.

"moooOOOm, I hate the heroine flavored stuff! Why can't we get the heroine flavor like Bartholomews family?"

I guess to modernize this it would be rapping to an 8 year old about sizzurp?

It's 2026. They're going to pick an already poorly aged, no longer relevant, and entirely age inappropriate song like WAP and you know I'm right.

Your dad hired you a nanny when you were 22?
Impractical_Island@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 63d
Yet he won't hire one for me now, the dick

That wasn't a nanny . . .

It was a landscaper. OP's exposed junk was gently caressed by the breeze of a leafblower through an open window from 30 yards.
