I have a man cold and taking my usual bowl of chicken soup washed down with a Lemsip Max but now I’m thinking… if the main ingrediant of a Lemsip is paracetamol, why don’t I just have a paracetamol? It’d cost alot less.
Whats the point of a Lemsip other than the paracetamol?
Thank you.
Now that you’ve read this, you now have a cold sorry thats just how this one works.
I assume from context that the “squash” you are referring to is not a gourd. Is it a beverage? Does it contain or is it served in a gourd?
“Squash” is another word for cordial or diluting juice - that is, a concentrated fruit juice that you dilute with water to drink
TIL thanks!
Huh. That sounds like a good time and fridge space saver. Make your own concentrate. I have made my own ginger syrup concentrate before, tastes good but not exactly a fruit. Have you got a recipe you actually like drinking when you’re not sick?
I’m afraid I’ve never made any myself. There’s a wide variety of them available pretty cheap in most shops here, and also I am fortunate enough to live somewhere where the tap water is really good
Skua has answered most of your issues but I thought I’d add a link.

This is the best lemon squash. It doesn’t need to be refrigerated, it can be kept in the cupboard for a year or two, I’m sad that it’s not common everywhere.
