To be so outraged that pink germolene has been discontinued

[thewigglywig]

Bloody love that stuff, for everything. That white cream stuff isn't good for anything

Oh no, really? That is another tiny bit of my past that is gone forever.....

Wtf! It's the only thing that sorts out my eyebrows when I have stress-scratched them to fuck.

I am not happy with this news.

It has??? I will have to eke out the final tube as much as possible then. Wonder if stocks are available online still. I didn't know there was another kind.

What..the smell still there isnt it..ive stockpiled mntters....lets start at 100k for one tube...

How do I know if it's the white or pink one in the box?

The smell always reminds me of my childhood.

What? Why? Where did you hear this?

I love the fact that you are outraged, wiggly.

My mother-in-law was fond of that shade of pink; she took a tube of Germolene to the DIY shop to match the colour for the artex in her new dining room. It really did end up looking as vile as that sounds.

Artex in different colours??? As if it wasn't ghastly enough to start with!

YANBU , OP. Pink germolene is the best.

Hermione - no, she wanted to paint the existing Artex on the walls.

It was that Christmas cake swirly royal icing effect. Jesus H it was awful. Enough to put you off your Findus Crispy Pancakes.

Findus crispy pancakes and the round tin of pink germoline.

Just need the artic roll my mil loved.

Blast from the past.

But it's magic cream? It won't work if it's not pink. I am absolutely 100% positively certain about that!

All paper cuts and grazed knees will fester and bits will drop off if it's not pink.

One of DD1's friends picked up the wrong tube in the dark tried to clean her teeth with pink Germolene on a school camping trip.

I can never look at a tube of Germolene without thinking of that poor girl trying to wash it out of her mouth.

Nooo, it can't be true! I bought a tube of the other stuff by mistake once and it just didn't work the same without the smell. I threw it out and bought the proper stuff.

Happybody - my husband grew up thinking that Arctic Roll was haute cuisine.

Until I opened his eyes and introduced him to butterscotch Angel Delight with sliced bananas. Every night is gourmet night chez Turnip.

Yes! Pink Germolene was magic cream throughout my childhood! Why are they discontinuing it?

Is that the stuff they used to insist they put on your knee if you scuffed it at school? My mum always just tied a hanky around our knee and sent us back out :S - Savlon on a bit of kitchen towel if it really needed cleaning!

Aw, my Granny swore by germolene as a cure for anything. The smell always reminds me of her house.

If you want the smell, just stick your nose in a bottle of Pepto Bismol!

My DM told me that pink germolene helped my spots when I was a 13yr old but they just made them worse and stank.

Oh no-this stuff smelled divine! Is it going (so I can go and buy some quick) or has it gone???

My grandmother believed that stuff was the holy grail and would grow back limbs! How dare they do this???

It was even better when it came in a little tin.

What fresh hell is this?

As if getting rid of Askit powders wasn't bad enough?
