    When i was a toddler i used to suck my thumb,

    my granny decided that she'd put a stop to that by putting mustard on my thumb.

    a few days later she noticed the mustard was gone.... turns out she found me eating the mustard from the jar with a teaspoon.... she did suceed in getting me to stop sucking my thumb... but now i like mustard :D

    anyone else got any stories to tell of mustard and stopping the thumb sucking?
