I'm not sure why I'd forgotton to add bad_science before now, but I did think of him this morning as I was buying cough lozenges and actually thought to myself "I'll get the honey flavoured ones, because I bet the taste will make the placebo effect more pronounced."
The trick is holding them far enough back in your mouth so they numb the throat. I can only really manage it when sleeping - during the day I rely on aspirin gargles.
