You have collectively uncovered the meaning behind the fortune! My acupuncturist, who specializes in herbs, always says "Medicine is not supposed to taste good". The reason? Most medicines are toxic when taken in excess quantities and harmful when taken if they're not needed. All that bubblegum flavoring carries a risk that the child will seek out the bottle and drink it.

I used to say that peyote was the worst-tasting thing you'd ever put in your mouth and not spit out, but the herbs made me change my mind about that.
