then why does the “leche de fresno” taste a little chalky?

A secret ingredient, perhaps?

That would only work once.

When we were children, our baby cousin (age 5) who always had an upset stomach from eating wild raspberries alway fell for that when my mom (her aunt) gave her some “chalky-tasting milk” (milk of magnesia!).

Kaopectate was used for diarrhea and tasted terrible.

“Pepto Misbol”? Love it! ;o)

(The generic version is usually called “Pink Bismuth”.)

Personal peeve: When people call medicine anything else. Later kids take it accidentally, thinking it’s candy or a milkshake etc… PS I used to work with local poison control and have dealt with the worst.

Good point…thanks.
