    Why have they been pulled from our shelves?! Nowhere seems to be stocking either but if you go up north, there's no problem getting either.

    Gone a long time now. You have to get in the car and drive for an hour with the hiccups to get the cure. I blame the government.

    We just like banning stuff here. Vitamin B6 is illegal to sell here. I wanted to get this stuff from America called Alpha brain and the two main ingredients in it are illegal here, just because they may have side effects if you take ****loads of them.

    These are all ingredients that help brain function so no wonder the government want to keep it out of our hands.

    I assume as a 19 yr old that gripe is a typo and that he actually means grape water, which is country speak for "wine".

    Gripe water is delicious.
    I'd drink a bottle of it in one sitting.

    Drop of brandy in the milk does the same job as gripe water

    Looks like gripe water has been banned because it contained alcohol :(.
