I explained to my family that cough syrup doesn't taste very good but it will 
do a job. They agreed. Silver (what we call CS in our house) may taste bad but 
it'll do the job also and better. They agreed to keep trying it.

Except for one week after Christmas we've been cold free this winter. Now if my 
daughters have a sore throat they will ask if they can have 
silver. They know the benefits.

Subject: CS>Help me get my daughter and wife to take CS



Here's my problem.  My daughter has the flu and my wife is coming down with a 
cold.

Neither one will drink the CS because they have drunk it before and hate the 
metallic taste.  i really don't notice much taste, it just seems a little flat 
to me, so no big deal for me.

My daughter tried mixing it with Gatorade once, but was really upset with me 
because I 'ruined' perfectly good Gatorade and it tasted gross.

Any suggestions on how to make it more palatable to finicky family members?
