It might have contained carob but looked like chocolate, was smooth and slightly greasy. Our entire family of boomers is trying to remember what it was and can't figure it out.

If you are a boomer and remember this product, please clue us in.

It was in a brown glass jar and wasn’t castor oil or Vitalin.

It might be a regional product. After all, those of us in Indiana didn’t have Dr. Pepper. So it might be helpfully to tell us the locale.

First to mind is from I Love Lucy:
“Vitametavegemin”

Blackstrap Molasses?

My dad said they used to give that as medicine and he wouldn’t drink tea because he said it reminded him of it.

One day he got a letter from the doctor telling him he was a little anemic.
He asked me to look up in a natural healing book what it said about it.

I looked it up, and said, “It says here you’re going to die. The number one thing it recommended was blackstrap molasses.”

Never heard of it. My mom’s idea of health food was milk toast.

Both from Down Under....
