I think if it is as 50/50. On one hand, kids accidentally drinking too much medicine is bad, and the other, it's hard to administer medicine when they need it.

On the other hand, the reason they add flavorings to medicine is to encourage kids (and adults) to take them at all.

Have you ever had bubblegum flavored medicine from the 90’s??? I could drink 4 gallons of that. I used to sneak extra spoonfuls. In fact now that I’m on that subject I’m gonna google if there’s anything similar I can buy as an adult for nostalgia
