Pepto
Pink stomach soother
Pepto is an informal shortening of Pepto-Bismol, the brand name for a pink liquid medication used to treat upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea.
The distinctive bright pink color has become so associated with the product that "Pepto pink" describes that particular shade.
I need some Pepto after that greasy meal.
The word often appears in casual speech when someone has digestive troubles.
