The key to drinking these syrups is to chug the entire bottle in one gulp. I used to d the shot then a glass of OJ another shot glass of OJ... but the taste is much esier to get rid of when you drink the entire thing in one gulp because after a glass of OJ it's nearly gone. But yeah the fruity ones are the worst they have a shitty taste which unlike robitussin is extremely hard to get rid of. It took me 3 hours to get rid of that damn taste.
