I know this may be a stupid question but i've never seen it adressed before. I know you can get the sucrets from the bag for DXM but what about from the tin. Is there something wrong with the ones from the tin? Even the DXM FAQ says from the bag not the tin.

I can attest to Sucrets in tins having nothing but Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide.
In my area a grocery store sells little plastic boxes w/18 sucrets each in cherry or wintergreen flavors. Each sucrets losange has 10mg of DXM.

While in theory this sounds like a great thing, theres a reason a dozen of these little boxes are still on the grocery store shelves; they are impossible to choke down. I've only tried to ingest them once and could only eat 8 (then went and stole a box of coricidin c&c to make up for not being able to eat more sucrets). Most I've ever seen someone eat without throwing up was 28 of the little bastards; which is only 280mg of DXM.

You can do a Sucrets extraction, 2 of which are at http://dextroverse.org
