If you ever find yourself tired of adulting, these less-than-pleasant memories from your childhood should remind you of the perks of adulthood: saying no t0 gross stuff because you can.

1. Cod Liver Oil

More specifically, Scott's Cod Liver oil. Thick, fishy viscosity that coats your tongue entirely. Yikes. To alleviate your childhood trauma, check out our remake of the classic commercial:

Tell me I'm not the only one.
