Pepto Bismol
Pink stomach medicine
Pepto Bismol is a brand name for bismuth subsalicylate, an over-the-counter medication for digestive complaints—upset stomach, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, and diarrhea.
The distinctive pink liquid and its chalky taste are immediately recognizable: I grabbed the Pepto Bismol after that questionable gas station burrito.
Also available in tablet form.
