WTH???!!! Purple Drank - things I learn reseaching the prescription drugs I just got.

[LynneSin]

I've been fighting a really bad case of bronchitis and of course I was prescribed some stuff to help clean up the mess including Codeine Cough Syrup. This stuff clears out my congestion and I sleep like a baby but I only take it at night and then only about 1 tsp at a time.

So last night I was bored and I looked up that prescription along with my antibiotic. And the top find for the cough medicine - Purple Drank: A popular drink that is a combination of Codeine Cough Syrup, Sprite and Jolly Ranchers

Who the *#)@ thinks up this stuff?

1. It's to take the edge off the Red Bull

:silly:

[LynneSin]

2. with the amount of cough syrup you're suppose to use, Red Bull ain't gonna do the trick...

gonna need some Crank to ofset the Drank.

5. See, I should've read on, instead of just the title of your OP.

I thought you were referring to this: http://www.drankbeverage.com/


Not the concoction on which it is based.

3. Who thinks up this stuff?

College kids.

4. Actually, hip-hop DJs.

Drank is from the Houston hip-hop scene, from whence we got the god-awful chopped-and-screwed sound that supplanted crunk a couple years back.

6. Reminded me of robo-tripping from college.

Never did it to see if it actually worked, but knew people dumb enough to try it.

7. Welcome to the 90s
