Dear Straight Dope: Why is it that most cough medicine are flavored with cherries? Why not kiwi or tangerine or banana? Matt, Long Beach SDStaff MsRobyn replies: Matt, I feel for you,I really do. As I write this, I’m getting over a nasty chest cold that forces me to take Robitussin to get some sleep. And, yes, it’s cherry-flavored. Let me amend that. To me it tastes like cherry kosher wine mixed with a hefty dose of saccharine. (I’ve been taking generic Robitussin, actually, but the real stuff tastes about the same.)

The sticky sweetness of Coca-Cola masked cocaine and caffeine, both bitte...
