I wondered why I quit coughing when I ate the Christmas fudge. 😊

I pop 500 mg Vitamin C for two days and voila....it's gone.
But I'll eat chocolate. It soothes my throat.

How do I get membership in such an organization. It sounds like something out of a Monty Python skit.

Rush discussed this a few days ago. Said he always has better results with chocolate than meds when it comes to coughing. He thought it was just unique to him, I guess, and didn’t realize it’s “a thing”.

Pineapple has more bromethalin in it than does many cough suppressants. Next time I get coughing I’m going to eat chocolate and pineapple.

But it’s hard to walk around with a bag of melted chocolates in your pocket.

Sounds like the beginning of a banana split to me. I’m comfortable with that.

You ever taste FAKE Chocolate Flavoring? 100 degrees different than the Real stuff, even the cheapo stuff. Just get a bag of Hershey’s kisses or Dove’s, and let them melt in your mouth, save your taste buds the Horror of FAKE Flavoring.
I prefer Spearmint candy, does the throat and stuffy nose.

I’m guessing things that naturally taste wonderful are health foods...

Having a hubby who is a Chocoholic, with Pneumonia coughing his lungs up, still consuming Chocolate, I can tell you it doesn’t work. He even consumes quantities of jelly beans he lets melt in his mouth.
Heaving coughing try Tesslon Perles script. 2 pills a day. Even a Glaucoma patient can have them. My mom broke ribs coughing from Bronchitis.

It looks like that all chocolate provides is stickiness, to allow any medicine to stay in the throat for longer, or to soothe the throat.
We still need more than chocolate (even dark chocolate) to help our throats.
But it does taste better than Robitussin ...
