This is a shock to me because it does not list any caloric information. Nyquil has 13 grams of sugar and 96 calories per 2 tbs, which isn't even a full dose! CHEESH! Time is an illusion..

My mother in law had to hide cough med from my husband when he was little because he liked it so much. I think if I was sick I wouldn't be thinking about cals a whole lot though!

No more Nyquil for me thanks! Well, unless I am desperate need of it.. Time is an illusion.. Lunchtime, doubly so. From A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

There are so many people who need to know how many calories they are taking in regardless if they are trying to gain or lose weight. This makes me angry. Wtf FDA?
