I was just thinking about things that were around when I was young, and realized how lucky kids are now. Anyone else remember the old Mercurochrome and Merthiolate? Fall off your bike, out of a tree, slide down a bank at the river, etc. and the first thing mom would do was get that stuff out and start putting it on scrapes and cuts.
HOLY ****! That stuff was EVIL (especially the Merthiolate). My God was there anything on earth that burned that bad and for that long?!?!?!? It was like having molten lava poured into an open wound! I'd try my best to keep mom/grandma/aunt from finding out I was hurt because I knew what was coming. Of course you were screwed if you had an older cousin/sibling/ etc. that liked to pick on you. First thing they would do was tell that you got hurt just so they could laugh their **** off at you getting tortured with that wicked liquid in the tiny brown bottle.

And I remember that it did burn. Having Mercurochrome stains around your cut or scrape was kind of a badge of honor. "look at me, I'm tough"

Mercurochrome, generic name merbromin. Taken off the US market in 1998 due to the mercury content. Merbromin is an organomercuric disodium salt compound. Still widely used in third world countries. Few under 30 years old in the US have ever heard of it.
