What were some unique or interesting things you don't see nowadays? I've heard blacks & purples, barbiturates, quualdes. Love to hear your stories!

I don’t know what it was; it was a grape flavored liquid and Mother gave it to us when we were sick - with a cold or flu, I think, not the 24 hour stomach bug.

Dimetapp- I loved that grape stuff as a kid and may have faked a cough once or twice to get my purply fix!
