Will this cough drop make me fat?
Yesterday, I went to the grocery store to buy some cough drops for the family since we’re both a little under the weather. As I’m perusing the selection of cough drops, looking for the right brand with a decent flavor, I find one advertising that it has “0 Carb!”
I know that they are just jumping on the whole Atkins/South Beach Diet craze to help push their product, but I have yet to meet a person who’s said something like “Jeez, my throat feels like I’m swallowing hot gravel and a couch drop would really help. Oh, thanks… Holy Crap, look at how many carbs are in this thing! Get this out of here, I’m on a diet!”
Having stated that, I ended up purchasing the 0 Carb cough drops (not because of the zero carbs, but because they were Honey-Lemon flavored).

I did know someone once who couldn’t do Atkins because one of his medications had carbs and so he couldn’t totally detox.
