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

Yes Red - along with Dr Batty's Asthma Cigarettes (not for the under-6s) and Cocaine Toothache Drops.

The world's gorn mad.

Well lots of online pharmacies are still selling it.

Really, mummytime!? I can't find it-can you post a link!?

My mother swore by comfrey oil and Tyrozets - they could cure anything.

Poundland has loads last time i looked..

My grandmother cured All Known Diseases with a licked hanky. I think she was some sort of consultant.

@ licked hanky!

If you could bottle the scent of my childhood it would be a heady concoction of germolene, TCP, firelighters and paraffin oil.

No, along with sudocrem I won't be able to cope.

our magic cream was the yellow acriflex, sadly another that is no more

The cream is still available-that hasn't been discontinued. It's the ointment that is no more.

Try here for one

Says it's out of stock mummytime so looks lIke it's been discontinued

Oh man, I was kept alive as a child with that

Rash: Germoline
Infected cut: Germoline
Random pain: Germoline
Limb hanging off: Germoline
Animal bite: Germoline
Attack by rabid dog: Germoline
Contact with common families: Germoline

I'm now scared for the future. How will we combat the zombie apocalypse without pink germoline?

Have you ever had Wintergreen sweets or chewing gum in the USA - tastes like Germoline smells -bleughhhh

Oh no magic pink cream , used for everything when I was a child , didn't use it so much for me children as it's very messy, but always had a tube.It used to come in a little tin

Not having grown up here I've no clue what pink germolene is and after reading the thread I'm not much wiser.

Some kind of ointment.

That's all I got

I love that it's white now. The pink used to stain stuff. I works the same. Germolene rules!

I can't find it in stock anywhere. Looks like it's gone!

crisp

You'll be telling me next Dettol is going too. Nothing is clean til you've wiped it with Dettol in warm water (cloudy)!

What!!! No!!! I'll be trawling our local chemists tomorrow first thing trying to find some leftover tubes :(

It's ok everybody. Germolene has just changed its colour from pink to white. It's exactly the same product.

I thought pink ointment had anaesthetic in it and white cream doesn't?

Germolene has just changed its colour from pink to white. It's exactly the same product.

Promise?

Brownies honour?

I have a tube of the white stuff and I just double checked and can confirm it has local anaesthetic in it.
