What sadistic twat makes an aniseed gaviscon???

[flappityflippers1]

Just the title really. What total a-hole makes an aniseed gaviscon?!?! It’s like doing a shot of sambuca!

Currently 32+4 preggers and hubby picked up the wrong one 😭

No AIBU I guess, unless I’m unreasonable for hating aniseed 🤢🤢🤢

YANBU!! couldn't stand the stuff. I bulk bought Orange Rennie's instead, worked a treat

I don't know what that shit is but it's not aniseed. I suspect the devil's jizz but who knows.

That’s my fav, can’t stand the mint one it’s like drinking crushed rennies.

You are so far from unreasonable! Vile stuff. I'm always miffed at the supermarket own brand versions as well; only ever seem to see them doing aniseed flavour. If they made their own brand in mint flavour, I'd snap it up. But alas!

I picked up the aniseed one by mistake. That was shock! Disgusting stuff.

Howling at devils jizz 🤣🤣

So glad it’s not just me! Will look out for orange Rennies, I can’t deal with this shite 🤢

What’s wrong with a nice strawberry flavour?!

I accidentally bought some in my first trimester. It is the most vile creation on the face of the planet

Yup was definitely a shock when I took a big glug heavily pregnant. I hate waste so had to psyche myself up every time to take it.

I also made the mistake of buying this the other day. It's totally disgusting. Yanbu

The doctor prescribed an unbranded Gaviscon-a-like medicine and it was aniseed 🤢. I am not fussy at all but I hate aniseed. I took it back to the pharmacy, played the pregnancy card and they swapped it for the mint one. I was literally swigging it from the bottle so no way could I have stomached it. That's a long way of saying YANBU.

Not really relevant but did you know you can get it free on prescription as you're pregnant?

I love the aniseed one and despise the mint one!

Despise aniseed and mint. Not sure strawberry flavour would be any better tbh.

Holy moly I did not know that!!! 😮😮😮.

The aniseed one makes me want to barf in an envelope and post to gaviscon HO 😭

Whatever one I had when I was pregnant with DS was fine, not really a taste at all - I’ve not heard good things about the mint one either 😭

I agree YANBU. When you find out, let me know. I have a case full of aniseed gaviscon for them to get drunk on nice little thank you package for them.

Nooo it’s the mint one which is vomit inducing!

Please send any cases or bottles of aniseed gaviscon my way. I love it. The mint one is like drinking chalk mixed with wallpaper paste.

The mint is manageable (in a weird minty liquid chalk kind of way)
The aniseed is ... like the fermented scrapings of a caveman’s armpits

Free dental treatment and prescriptions during pregnancy and 12 months post partum, so get those checkups in!!

No, no, no! The aniseed one is the best! Trust me, look at my username

Not pregnant but have reflux. I can't stand aniseed in anything and the Gaviscon went down the sink when I bought the wrong one. I actually quite like the mint one!

I loved the aniseed ones and I had to drink gallons of the stuff.

Now I know why my preferred flavour was never out of stock!

I could go a gaviscon now 😂 or a pernod & black

No, no, no! The aniseed one is the best! Trust me, look at my username

It’s soooooo bad 😭😭 it’s worse than shops that have hand sanitiser that smells like tequila 😭😂

As pp have said there is also a mint flavor, also gaviscon do tablets like rennie too.
I assume its that flavour as fennel is used to treat heartburn, as is peppermint but I think both are ghastly, at least the peppermint doesn't make me gag but like drinking thick toothpaste
Yuk yuk yuk
Deffinatly speak to your doctor, I was prescribed mint gaviscon and omeprazole tablets while pregnant very easily and safely (turns out my problem wasn't heartburn but thats a whole thread in itself!!)
Hope you feel better
