We don’t know about you, but we have so many questions about Pepto-Bismol. Why is it pink? Why does it turn your tongue black? But, most importantly, why does it taste so bad?
In fact, the main ingredient of Pepto-Bismol is bismuth subsalicylate, which is also known as pink bismuth. This is the ingredient that causes the liquid to be pink and reacts with sulphur to cause the occasional black tongue. It’s also a derivative of aspirin. Using pink bismuth as a stomach pain reliever has been around since the 18th century, but Pepto-Bismol itself was first introduced in the early 20th century. And since then, adults and children alike have held love it or hate it views on the chalky, bubblegum taste.
If you fall into the latter category and can’t stomach Pepto-Bismol, you’ve likely suffered through a stomach ache or two without respite. Luckily, you’ll not need to suffer any more with by your side.
