You'd actually feel special being sick.
If you saw Vick's Vapour Rub and Fisherman's Friend's you knew it was 50/50. 😂

Oh Lord , I think I had blocked the pink syrup from my brain, thanks for bringing it back up 😀
This isn't a "thing" but remember scrawbing pictures into the frost , on the inside of the window brrr 🥶🥶
That red pink stuff, can't remember the name that they used to put on cuts when I was a kid, it was in a brown bottle with a dopper I remember it stung like hell!
I don't remember that, we had Germolene, a pink ointment in a tub.
I think you're talking about Calamine lotion
This? It was always put on us with a feather, don't ask why , probably softer on a battered , grazed knee or hand .
No definitely wasn't calamine lotion.
That's it, just looked it up there and it came up as Merbromin. Terrible stuff!
It also took ages to wear off if I remember correctly 🤣
No longer sold in many countries due to its mercury content...

Was it not iodine???
Could have been. That sounds more familiar!
No, Betadine is/was iodine based, as was iodine tincture.
"Crystal violet or gentian violet, also known as methyl violet 10B or hexamethyl pararosaniline chloride, is a triarylmethane dye used as a histological stain and in Gram's method of classifying bacteria. Crystal violet has antibacterial, antifungal, and anthelmintic (vermicide) properties and was formerly important as a topical antiseptic."
You'll be grand parking in Tallaght hospital so. Everyone else is f*cked!
The multicoloured scrapes on the wall bear witness that it was built in the 1990s for 1960s cars...
Walking down Henry St. in September be like...
"Bangers, Rockets or Air bombs?"
"Black Cats 10 for a 5er!"
