Talk:Buckley's

Invented in Sydney, NS?
The article states Buckley's Mixture was invented in Sydney, NS, but I can't find any confirmation on this from any official company sources (e.g. Buckley's website). We should find a citation for this. NathanRahl (talk) 00:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

The Buckley's corporate website seems to be saying that the original mixture was invented in Toronto. (see http://www.buckleys.com/about/history.htm ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.97.17 (talk) 03:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

William Knapp Buckley did live in Sydney, N.S. before he moved to Toronto in 1919. Perhaps that is why there are conflicting claims as to whether the mixture was invented in Toronto and Sydney.

The original Buckley's Drug Store was bought from the Burns family in Sydney, N.S., along with the family cough syrup. I have a newspaper article from the 60th anniversary of that original store with a "memorable photo" of Feb. 1, 1905 on "Buckley's Corner" with the sign on the building saying "S. Burns & Son." The original proprietor was Stewart Burns, born in Ireland in 1820, died in Sydney, N.S., 1894. I don't have a date of the article, but it appears to be from the Cape Breton Newspaper, citing the Diamond Jubilee and that "Two years later, on this same site, the present Buckley's Drug Store was erected." It is my understanding that the cough syrup formula was later changed from that original recipe, so it's still hard to say where it was invented.

Corey Doctorow Plug
In Corey Doctorows podcast: Hacker Crackdown part 5 during the intro to the reading, Corey doctor goes on about how great this stuff is and comments about its availability in the US... bit of trivia i didn't think was suitable for the article.

Typo?
Is capsicum different from capsaicin or is one a typo? Wanderer57 (talk) 03:03, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand capsicum is the plant (chile pepper), capsaicin the active ingredient.--201.215.206.8 (talk) 18:26, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Abuse
Dextromethorphan abuse is well documented but I'm not sure we really need a citation to prove that the taste of Buckley's DM is a deterrent to its recreational use. Competitor's products containing DM taste literally like candy in many cases. Buckley's sales slogan is based on the awful taste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.49.102.7 (talk) 01:49, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Origin of Buckley's
Our Mikmaw elders tell the story that he got the 'recipe' from the Mi'kmaq but I never see them credited for this knowledge 130.51.149.143 (talk) 15:38, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
