years ago do you remember taking " cola syrup" to see if your stomach was settled ? Or giving it to your kids? Mine was! If I passed the cola test I could have plain tost w/ plain tea and if I passed again butter on the toast and sugar and cream in the tea!

I'm not "chatting" I'm expressing...Plum I loved soft boiled eggs with tions of salt and pepper. My Dad used to throw a raw one in our milkshakes!

No, but I remember my little brother was always car sick.
He got to ride in the front seat and eat bananas and drink 7-up. My other brother and I were always mad at him. We thought he was faking to get the goodies and ride up front.

I remember the cola syrup, but when I had a 'rotten' stomach as my Mom would say she would fix up some licorice tea using real licorice and it would settle the stomach just fine. Probably where I developed a taste for Beemon's Black Jack gum as a kid.

I remember getting a little baking soda in cold waster for a sick stomach. No, I'd never get a raw egg. There is a danger of salmonella with that. I also remmber getting a hot toddy too when necessary.

I don't remember the cola syrup, but I do remember the paregoric. Nasty stuff that my mom would give us for any kind of stomach ailment.

I remember the coke syrup but my Dad made me a soft boiled egg and broke up a slice of bread in it and mixed it in with the yolk !!!! I think he was disguising the undercooked parts of the egg ..... hehe

toast or crackers (rusk toast was best) until they settled without a wiggle -- then gradually more substance. Cola syrup was at the drug store for fountain pop.

Our mothers must have been to the same school of parenting. She did the exact same thing.
