Primer brand caffeinated breath spray (huzzah for Thinkgeek) gives every indication of working when applied directly to the tongue, but it's like being hit in the mouth by a golf club covered in Altoids. Altoids dipped in mouthwash or something, because caffeine, when applied in concentrations high enough to register on the body's systems in a single pump of the spray, tastes awful. Seriously, it's like the first time I dryswallowed a Tylenol tablet and found out what acetaminophen tastes like*.




*Ass. At least, it did until I used Buckley's, which is the definitive 'it tastes like ass' substance as far as I'm concerned. Acetaminophen, by comparison, just tastes like hatred.

Never heard of Buckley's, but in my experience loperamide is the definitive ass-tasting substance.

It's a type of Canadian cough syrup. Here:

Active Ingredients:
Each teaspoonful (5 mL) contains: 153 mg Ammonium Carbonate, 267 mg Potassium Bicarbonate, 22 mg Menthol, and 2.2 mg Camphor.

Non-Medicinal Ingredients:
Canada Balsam, Carrageenan, Glycerin, Pine Needle Oil, Sodium Butylparaben, Sodium Cyclamate, Sodium Propylparaben, Tincture of Capsicum and Water.

It is the single most horrible thing I have ever put in my mouth, but it's done wonders when I've been flattened by sicknesses that involved coughing or my nose/sinuses saying 'fuck this noise' and dumping down the back of my throat instead of out the front.

Acetaminophen is full of hate. Buckley's is full of ass. I would say caffeine is full of anger. ;)
