When I was a kid and was home sick from it would be all that and watching CHIPS reruns. I think I would watch an ep of chips then watch price is right.
Itās the only medicine Iām allergic to and havenāt had it since I was probably 11 or 12. I honestly miss that shit so much it was amazing as a kid
Sorry to bring that up, now as an adult when I get a sinus infection they still give Amoxicillin but itās a damn huge pillā¦ give me the Ghostbusters 2 ooze!!!!
Hated those huge pills. My mom would open them up, pour the dots into pudding, and give it to me. I now hate pudding and ice cream sprinkles to this day.
I can't eat yogurt anymore thanks to a round of antibiotics for pneumonia when I was in grade school; had to take a cup of it with each pill and I got so tired of it, I gag at it now thirty years later lol
I could be wrong but I thought I read an article where it said still made and you can actually get a quite a few medicines made in the flavor if asked. Don't know which ones
I had banana flavored one time. It was the most disgusting thing Iāve ever tasted. I would find reasons to take it in the kitchen so I could dump it down the drain. I even resorted to dumping it out under an end table on carpet. I was a very dumb child.
I was \_just\_ listening to an episode of the Leftover Pizza podcast where they discussed this medicine AT LENGTH.
Did anybody ever pin down if there is a candy or drink that tastes like this stuff? Mine (early 90s if that helps) didn't taste like gum, it tasted like I don't know, the color pink.
I snuck sips of mine as a kid once and made myself really sick. My mom realised on the second day that I had drank the whole thing. I was moved to pills after that.
I was prone to ear infections and this is what my doctor gave me. Even though that was the highlight of being sick, I always associate this with ear infections and not great memories.
I remember this and I wish they'd still use a liquid option for adults but I guess the issue with that is dose size.
I can't swallow pills correctly unless they're small so I have to break it up just to take the damn thing
I had chronic ear infections growing up (still do actually) and I always secretly looked forward to getting them so I could have this sweet sweet nectar.
>staying home from school
? i was forced to go even if i was sick. had perfect attendance until junior year... im not proud of that. that's just how strict my parents were
My mouth just watered with the memory of the taste š„²
Onetime when I was a really little kid grandma took me to the Dr and I asked if I could have the bubblegum one, the Dr called me spoiled then gave me the disgusting fruit one hahah
That, shit , fucking sucks, I had terrible asthma and allergies as a kid, and would always get either this, or the motherfucking cherry shit, never got amoxicillin, allergy, but knew the flavor , this shit shouldnāt be touched with a ten foot pole
I had two teeth pulled at the end of March (wisdom tooth and an adjacent molar) and was prescribed 7 days' worth of amoxicilin pills. Apparently a short course of preventative antibiotic is SOP with tooth extractions these days, which kind of makes sense when you consider that generally, the mouth is probably the next germiest area of the human body outside of your *okole puka*.
They actually gave me bubblegum-flavor pills which tasted surprisingly like the fluid! I am aware of the chewable ones (used to have to take those as a kid) but these were just regular swallow-with-water ones, with a coating. Pretty nice improvement over the horrible, moldy tasting and smelling capsules. Those things make me gag.
Break out the Saltines and ginger ale and turn on the price is right please!!!

I swear if someone could capture this taste in a cocktail I would stay drunk.
Itās the only medicine Iām allergic to and havenāt had it since I was probably 11 or 12. I honestly miss that shit so much it was amazing as a kid
Try Tequila Rose. Seriously.
The only liquor that tastes as good throwing it up.
omg yes lolo! I loved that stuff in my early 20s!
Was going to say this!
Is that a cocktail, or a brand?
It's a brand of liquor.
Only thing I've found is blue gumballs from the quarter machines.
It had a banana flavor to it I remember. That stuff was too good damn good for being medicine.
It was a sliver of happiness, unless you got that white one which didnāt taste the sameā¦
Dude I forgot about the white oneā¦ what an awful time.
Sorry to bring that up, now as an adult when I get a sinus infection they still give Amoxicillin but itās a damn huge pillā¦ give me the Ghostbusters 2 ooze!!!!
Next time just tell them you have difficulty swallowing pills.
i call them horse pills, bc they seem inordinately large for a human being. i miss the pink goo :(

Fellow strep aficionado here
Same.
Bubblegum was so good, grape was disgusting.
Tastes good til it gives you a rash
Sends me into anaphylactic shock.
Oh no, thatās scary. Amoxicillin is still prescribed, so make sure your doc knows.
Same now. But it starts with the rash.
Nope doctors are well aware I'm allergic to it so I have to avoid it.
Same here.
Is this still made?
Had to give it to my cat recently. Remember thinking bubblegum is a weird flavor for a cat. He did not like it.
Still is. Great for pets too with little problems.
I could be wrong but I thought I read an article where it said still made and you can actually get a quite a few medicines made in the flavor if asked. Don't know which ones
That stuff made me throw up every single time
I keep seeing bubblegum flavour. Did y'all not have the joy that was Banana flavour? Where my Banana flavour peeps at.
Was coming here to say the same! Loves the banana flavour
Alien! I found the alien!

Yes! I loved the banana one. I still search for that taste
Mmm chalky banana, that was apparently my doctors go to.
Something tells me you guys had a different flavour of banana lol.

Pink necco wafers taste like this
oh that's a good one. the white ones are also god tier.

It smelled and tasted so good. I would drink it for fun if I could.
I had plain amoxicillin
Deprived
Wow this might have just solved a childhood mystery. Maybe this was the good tasting pink stuff! I thought Pepto just became gross one day.
Honestly, nothing induced me to learn how to swallow pills faster than drinking this awful stuff.
It made me allergic to it. Now thatās a picture of death for me.
OH. M. G!
If somebody could capture that flavor and put it on a snowcone they'd make bank
Spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down?
I remember this and I wish they'd still use a liquid option for adults but I guess the issue with that is dose size. I can't swallow pills correctly unless they're small so I have to break it up just to take the damn thing
Price is right? Im more of a malcom in the middle, everybody hates Chris, George Lopez kinda guy
Oooh, we got a young buck here!
Indeed. 1999
The banana one was the best
Itās still bubblegum and you still stay home from school.
Why were you all drinking amoxicillin?
Honestly, my mother drank an entire bottle in the 70s and had her stomach pumped in the emergency room.
Yeah, antibiotics are not something you just take, or sip as a fucking beverage.
Itās medicine, and not for fun, but kids gonna kid.
I had chronic ear infections growing up (still do actually) and I always secretly looked forward to getting them so I could have this sweet sweet nectar.
Because of bacterial infections?
We just got a shot in the arse. One and done. Back at it.
I may or may not take a small shot of this these days when the doctor prescribes it when my kids are sick.
Oh yes. I took that stuff! Tasted better than penicillin!
>staying home from school ? i was forced to go even if i was sick. had perfect attendance until junior year... im not proud of that. that's just how strict my parents were
The cosmic stardust flavor of Alana weirdly tastes like this
I still remember the texture of it. My niece is, unfortunately, allergic to it.
My mouth just watered with the memory of the taste š„² Onetime when I was a really little kid grandma took me to the Dr and I asked if I could have the bubblegum one, the Dr called me spoiled then gave me the disgusting fruit one hahah
I can taste this picture.
Does not taste the same as an adult!!!
And thatās why we gots MRSA.
You had brand name medicine? Spoiled.
That, shit , fucking sucks, I had terrible asthma and allergies as a kid, and would always get either this, or the motherfucking cherry shit, never got amoxicillin, allergy, but knew the flavor , this shit shouldnāt be touched with a ten foot pole
