I'm convinced that Fletcher's Castoria (that I thought tasted really
great) is the flavor base for Dr. Pepper.
The one that always did me in was Phillip's Milk of Magnesia. My
mother loved to dose you up with that stuff. Yuck! I still remember
the day that she mixed a spoon of it in a glass of water and made me
drink it. ::shudder::
I gotta go use some mouthwash now. Yuck.
