That is a bottle of screams right there.

Oh yeah... whenever I fell off my bicycle, which was frequently at age 6, I got "painted" with that loathsome stuff.

I don't recall this stuff at all but any illness we had was treated with milk of magnesia. Urgh ..

electric tape for bandaids and we were usually admonished to "rub some dirt on it and get over it" or "come over here and I will kick you in the shin and that will get your mind off it."

A world of pansies we have today.

I hated that stuff

I unfortunately got to experience that.

My mom used it liberally. On knees mostly. 6 sets of knees. Geez. Never forget that bright orange sting.

oh yeah
and then they invented bactine - and it didn't seem like it did any good

It did sting, but as I remember it, Iodine was way worse.

yes but did i learn not to be a klutz? no i did not

Yep. My mom kept a stock of it.

It sure did happen to me. 😭

Yikes
I remember….😣

Lmao yep i remember that

But somehow it worked 💁‍♂️. 😂
