I wonder....

Can't believe that they expect you to put
something with traces of benzine in your mouth.
I'm pissed about this. It's not the kind of thing that
will prevent kids from drinking it, put could cause
long term harm.

I've had a full cup at a time, and NEVER felt any ill
effects.

The chemical mentioned is also known as Bitrex, and imparts an incredibly bitter taste even in the ppm range. It seems hard to believe that it could be used in mouthwashes - I cant see it being practical tbh.

I don't like mouthwash, it's really strong
I used to like the cough medicine I had when I was a kid. I think it was cough medicine anyway. It was called Tixilix or something

I thought it tasted nice

The only medicine/hygiene type product I ever like was baby aspirin  I still get orange tic tacs because they remind me of them

I liked baby aspirins too.  I ODed on them one time and had to go to the hospital.

They should NOT make drugs taste like candy.

yeah i think about that sometimes when i take something that tastes really nice
they should make them horrible so you don't want them

I used to eat vitamin C's because they tasted so
good. Not TOO much harm in that, but probably
WAY over what I should have been taking.

And this was as an adult.

some of my chewy vitamins are really nice
i have blackcurrant ones at the moment
but my mum gets pissed off because she leaves them out for me, and i just eat the nice chewy ones and leave the rest

I used to suck on the vitamin C's that WEREN'T
chewable. And, I like to eat Rose Hips.

Mine was when I was a kid.  I think that I was about four, but I could open child proof caps, even then.

The worst side effect of a massive vitamin C overdose is diarrhea, and if you take a large dose consistently for a long time, you need to taper it off if you stop.

the thing that's put me off taking a lot of my chewy vitamins is that it says it can have a laxative effect if you take too many

Orange Tic Tacs are nice. The rest of them taste horrible.

Someone I knew ODed on the penicillin medicine I mentioned. Also had to go to hospital and had his stomach pumped. Can't have been a nice experience, he was only four.

Better to buy real lollies.
