What to do if you're allergic to donuts...

I found myself in a P.E lesson today playing a game somewhat like biff-hockey. Games like that were meant to be short, not 2 periods long. I soon found myself talking to the person next to me about, strangely enough, cough medicine. And, after giving it more thought, i realised just how strange the industry is. Believe it or not, someone has to come up with all those 'flavours' (maybe slight variations of the disgusting 'cherry' flavour) and try them over and over. And another person has to label the bottle. Imagine that, typing 'clerodendron', and 'phenalenalynine', followed by the ever present 'this product may contain traces of peanuts, almonds, caffiene, mars bar, apple, orange, morning coffee biscuits, and maybe a bit of donut...' the list goes on. Yet someone else has to draw the diagram telling you how to open the lid, someone has to stamp the use by date, and another poor person has to make sure that the bottles are sent to the right place. So next time you find yourself forcing yourself to drink some lovely 'cherry' flavoured medicine, poised with a glass of water to wash it down, read the label. Spare a moment for the people who gave up their time to provide you with that delicious concoction. And you never know, you might be allergic to donut...
