Two towns named Buckley vie for cough syrup supremacy

BUCKLEY – The Buckley's Challenge, a test of the taste buds between Buckley, Ill., and Buckley, Wash., has set a deadline of Monday for citizens to post pictures of themselves on the Internet after taking a drink of the awful-tasting Buckley's Cough Mixture.

The two towns are being challenged to drink the foul-tasting liquid to see who has more "Buckley spirit."
