Buckley's
- For the origin of the phrase Buckley's, see William Buckle (convict)
W.K. Buckley Limited is a Canadian corporation founded in 1920, by W.K. Buckley, that manufactures medicines for health problems such as the common cold. They also have children's medicine which they brand Jack & Jill. The company is located in Mississauga, Ontario.
In 1978, after W.K. Buckley's death, his son Frank Buckley became the president of the company.
In the mid-1980s, Frank became spokesperson promoting the "It Tastes Awful. And It Works." slogan, which became, and still is, very successful.
Novartis, the Swiss-based conglomerate with 2005 sales of $32 billion, purchased ownership of the Buckley's brand and formulas in 2002.[1]
Buckley's Mixture
Buckley's Mixture is a cough syrup invented in 1919 (and still produced today) noted for its extremely unpleasant and horrible taste. It should be noted, however, that some individuals actually enjoy taking the stuff.
