chocolate is better than codeine

i have this terrible cough that won't go away. i haven't slept well for the last three nights, not to mention keeping nico up all night...cough attacks at work, at dinner, on bart....it's terrible! tonight i was looking up some remedies...and lo and behold, guess what came up? DARK CHOCOLATE! apparently the theobromine content in dark chocolate works better than codeine as a cough suppressant. WHO KNEW???
