Bizarre

OK, so Ben is teething. We go and by some teething gel, the kind of stuff you smear on his gums to sooth the pain. No worries. Until you take the lid off.

It smells (and tastes) like liquorice! Just think about that for a moment. This product is designed for babies who have only ever tasted breast milk. No other foodstuff has ever passed their lips. If you were making this product, what would you make it taste like? Maybe . . . nothing, or something kind of milky? Yeah, well not the brilliant minds behind this gel. I mean out of all the tastes we have brought together, all of our experiments in fusion, this is what we come up with? If this is the best we can do with teething gel, it certainly doesn't inspire confidence in something like, say, the UN.
