I’ve just seen a lad have a lemsip straight out the sachet without mixing it with anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s ill. Google says it can make you ill. He just said I’ve got a cold and took it straight out the sachet without mixing.🤢🤮

Said to him shouldn’t you have a drink after that. He had a coke.

I do love to sniff the lemony vapours of a lemsip 😍 - bring on winter!

Really? I always think it smells like flash floor cleaner...

If I remember rightly there is a Lemsip that you can take straight from the packet!

Some years back was there not a TV ad that showed it being taken that way - suppose it was aimed at those on the way to work. Or did I just imagine that?

There was a proper Lemsip product that you just took out of the packet a good few years ago - it was pretty hardcore! I don't think you can get it anymore.

Why would it harm him? I’m sure he’s fine! He’s be better off with the lemsip tablets next time though

If you have 2 effervescent vitamin c tablets straight from the tube you can get some really good frothing at the mouth and play zombies with your kids. Or so I’ve been told…😁

My husband crunches up paracetamol tablets. I couldn't do that.

I don't think that's the right thing to do? They're designed to be swallowed whole.

Well I wouldn't do it but I don't tell him what to do.🤷‍♀️

I saw a homeless guy once eating a raw pork chop, so an undiluted lemsip isn't that concerning

DH takes lemsip that way.

I crunch paracetamol before washing it down with a mouthful of water.
