Mmm, medicine

[andygates]

According to Wikipedia, theobromine is an effective antitussive.  This is good:

1. Antitussives stop those little annoying coughs allowing enough cough to build for a good productive phlegm-clearer.
2. Theobromine is found in chocolate.
3. Theobromine is found more in dark chocolate, such that about 50g has an effective dose.

This means that the stick of Bournville I just scarfed is medicine.  Clearly, Green & Black's would be better, but you take what's availaible.

The office, which is a hack-bed of lungbutter right now, is investigating this potential palliative with great enthusiasm.

Hm. Now, if only I can find a way in which G&B's would be a preventive measure of some kind, so I can medicate myself without having any actual maladies.

Whey hydrosylate, BCAA powder, Maya Gold. Obviously :)

Prevent what?

Bet I could think of something. I can set the crew on it.

Bob recommends the butterscotch. Obviously he doesn't say what for, cos he never does.

But butterscotch.

It's only cos I don't like the butterscotch so he knows I won't be tempted.

Maybe it builds character.

He says it's preventative.

He actually said it's a prophylactic. Only I don't think he meant in the sense of "Something for the weekend, sir?"

Every so often he gets his words confused, bless him.
