Re: Childhood medicines
I remember Junior Disprin medicine was banana flavour, which made it even harder to take!
There used to be some cough pastilles that tasted a bit like tar, I once got it trouble for spitting one out in the bin because it was so nasty!
My Mum bought a device for medicating the air as we slept when we had heavy colds. It was a brass cylinder witha tea light in the base & block of what looked like limestone to pour a medicine on.
The tealight would heat up the block & the medicine would vapourise, filling the room with a very chemical like smell. I think my Mum stopped using it was she was worried about gassing us, & risking burning the house down at the same time.
