In 1966, George Hoffnagel and Chet Poetsch worked at Richardson-Vicks, Inc. and came up with a “liquid, multi-symptom relief formula” to promote Nighttime Tranquility for those batting the common cold. This was the first of its kind. We know it by the name NyQuil.

After dealing w a cold the last three days, I feel that Hoffnagel and Poetsch deserve far more credit for their contributions to society. (They should be household names.)
