The cough drops are very good but not nearly as personable.

We all have pecs, they're just concealed by some flesh!!

According to the blurb on the packets, IIRC, the "cough drops" were lozenges "specially formulated for deep sea fisherman working in Icelandic conditions" - confirmed by the Direct Chemist site here . I think the Icelandic conditions at the time referred to climate, and any banks were fishing grounds, not financial institutions. I always wondered why the lozenges were sold in paper (not very waterproof) packets?

You're not supposed to put them in your beer! Or was that some chemical experiment to see if it would make you high?

Pecs or man-boobs??
