"Breathe through the mouth, and enjoy the warm, soothing feeling." More like "try not to drown!" My doctor recommended this for my cold symptoms. I'm not sure if it's worse than not breathing, but I suspect it may be.

Yeah, the way he looked the first time is how I felt. The second time (with the coffee) it's clear he didn't keep breathing through his mouth - which is understandable when you put something like COFFEE in your NOSE.

Hot tea wasn't doing me a lick of good.

Only surpassed by the sensation of WHISKEY in your nose.

That's gotta burn.

I once laughed while taking a shot. That was a special kind of hell for a few minutes. I think it may have been the worst feeling anything has ever caused in my nose. Certainly pretty high up there on the list.

Ouch! Personal experience tells me Rum & Coke is a pretty nasty nasal sensation, not one I care to repeat. Laughing in bars is dangerous.

Ooh, the fizziness from the coke has to suck pretty hard.

The acidity's worse than the fizz.

I'm not sure about that. I've breathed in HCl gas before and while it's not pleasant, it doesn't even come close to being the worst thing that's been in my nose. Not that I'm about to snort various sodas to see what effect pH has on the unpleasantness level.

I didn't watch what he did, I just saw the picture of his face in the related videos.
I know you don't normally do spicy food, but you could try a magic berry and then eat something spicy during the period where the taste doesn't register (it actually comes up sweet). It might clear you out if pseudoephedrine is failing you. Are you taking an expectorant? I find that nondrying pseudoephedrine/gaufenaisin (sp?) to be excellent for tough congestion.
Hope you feel better soon.

I clicked on that link expecting to be able to say something snarky about how that really isn't magic...but wow. Now I want to try one of these!

I know my sensory altering botanicals.
they're like $5 each, $3 if you buy them in bulk. Which you should do and then host a flavor tripping party.

Pseudoephedrine's doing nothing for me. :(

Were you putting the hot tea in your nose though?

It's pretty important that you use a saline solution and not just plain water. The NeilMed stuff that I use comes with its own packets of stuff that you dissolve in slightly warmed distilled water. If the water is too cold or too hot, it isn't a pleasant experience.
