Japanese Iodine Solution 薬

This is a common Japanese product for gargling - an iodine solution (with hippopotamuses as a mascot for some reason). Naomi uses it to help keep down colds. The first time I tried it (in 1991) I almost gagged. Now, it doesn't bother me at all.

 

(薬 is Japanese for medicine and is pronounced "kusuri".)
