BTW, those old comedy movies of unfortunate kids having a hard time
swallowing castor oil is true, but it's not the taste the kids are
grimacing over, it's the density of the oil. Like mineral oil, trying
to swallow a big ol' spoonfull of castor, mineral, and most other
oils, is like trying to swallow a solid object.

You were a bad kid, huh? I would rather go the school than have mom
give me tablespoon of castor oil. One dose and you're cured for life.
