Thankyoumaskedman on Tue 15 April 2008 said... Fucking hell - I thought I was the only one. Anyone else have seriously insane hallucinations due to a reaction to Calpol as a child? It beat the shit out of LSD.
RightRoyalBastard on Tue 15 April 2008 said... With you there Maskedman. Got taken to hospital once after I found the parental stash and proceeded to see off most of a bottle. Next thing I knew my mum was extracting me from the washing machine and trying to get the cat down from the top of a wardrobe. Apparently I was swearing at her like a sailor using words she didn't know existed. I was 6.

nosensenofeeling on Tue 15 April 2008 said... I know a child who ate an entire box of calpol sachets. His mum called NHS Direct in a panic, only to be told "It's ok, It's mainly sugar, he'll go mad for a bit and conk out" He did, and then slept for 4 hours.

ComradeDuch on Wed 16 April 2008 said... Buttercup and sherry - drink of champions
enoch powell on Wed 16 April 2008 said... i find it really fuckin hard to believe that someone got any kind of answer from NHS direct , other than 'get to A&E' or 'we can call them for you'
Stix on Wed 16 April 2008 said... I would regularly get dosed up on Calpol as a child to make me sleep. That would probable constitute as child abuse these days.....
rararasputin on Wed 16 April 2008 said... I'm the same as RRB. I remember drinking an entire bottle of calpol because my mum's head was turned for one second. I wasn't taken to hospital because i'm a hard bastard, me.
Also, just so you know, modern day calpol is no way near as good as it used to be.
VengefulJesus on Sat 19 April 2008 said... Purple Calpol was delicious but I really used to love a brand called Robitussin, did'nt taste anywhere near as nice but was chock full of dextromethorphan hydrobromide which is a psychedelic dissasociative anaesthetic. Which means downing a bottle of it would send you tripping off down the rabbit hole for the best part of 5 hours. Mind you, I still prefered acid. Less Nausea.
