Triaminic vs. Tylenol Smackdown

Peter Rukavina

As Oliver has been on the mend, and I’ve been getting gradually more congested, I’ve been bogarting his Children’s Triaminic and Children’s Tylenol. Both are bubble-gum flavoured. Both claim to address cough, fever, congestion and aches. They seem to be about equally successful at this — a couple of tablespoons does indeed take the edge off. Victory goes to Children’s Tylenol, however: it flows out of the medicine cup much more fluidly, doesn’t stain the pyjamas if spilled, and its fake bubble-gum flavour is much more subtle, and doesn’t have the acrid aftertaste that the Triaminic does.

Peter, if a crocodile attached itself to your leg you’d blog about how much more convenient it was than a shark attack. I’ve never seen objectivity put to such good use.
