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!).
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.

A secret ingredient, perhaps?

Kaopectate was used for diarrhea and tasted terrible.
