From the Pulse of the Twin Cities, late November:

"...And that?s not the worst of it,
Lester?there?s no more Romilar, either. That?s right, some pinhead at a pharmaceutical company somewhere decided (I think it was right around 1982?hey! That?s when you OverDeed!) America needed a lighter, less-narcotic, more utilitarian cough syrup, so we got Extra-Strength Green Nyquil instead..."

The Cult of Saint Cough-Syrup.

Saint Cough-Syrup hu akbar!

Cough-syrup users carry on.

romilar still exists, as a dxm-containing syrup or pill/lozenge thing. and i think it still exists as a codeine cough syrup (but an undesirable one to abuse, i think, because it has guafenesin, a bad expectorant that makes you sick, and people would rather drink promethazine ones). but maybe that's not the point.
