Fish Oil Supplement

Something Fishy

You know, when I was a boy, for a few days my mom tried to force a teaspoon of fish oil supplement down my throat because she read in some magazine that that was a good thing for a kid to have.

Even though this event occurred more than fifty years ago, I vividly recollect the memory of the utterly disgusting and rancid taste of that fish oil, a taste that turned me off to most things aquatic for a long, long time.

Well, a few months ago I decided to bite the bullet and add fish oil to my daily health routine because the articles I've read about it over the years had long ago convinced me that doing so was a smart thing for both physical and mental health.

So I ordered three bottles of Carlson's lemon-flavored cod liver oil.

I figured that maybe, just maybe, there would be enough lemon in there to at least partially mask the awful fish oil taste that haunted my memory banks.

So the bottles arrive.

After opening the package, I shake my head and tell my wife, "I hope I didn't just waste all that money on fish oil. If this stuff tastes as bad as I remember it tasting, I'm going to end up flushing this stuff."

"You should have ordered one bottle instead of three," she observed.

I bit my tongue and didn't go into my rap about saving postage and handling by ordering multiple bottles.

"Are you going to join me in trying this?" I asked.

Well, my wife has had a life-long allergy to anything fish-related, so she wasn't about to volunteer for this particular health experiment.

I opened the lime green bottle and cautiously nosed around the top, sniffing like a dog approaching fresh road kill.

Hmmm, no fishy smell.

I poured a big tablespoon and sniffed again.

Ahh, lemon fresh.

I opened my mouth and poured the stuff in.

Swirled the Carlson's fish oil between my teeth.

Amazing... a memory of munching lemon drops as a kid.

Absolutely no fish taste.

None whatsoever.

In fact, I was so blown away, my wife tried a tablespoon, liked the taste as much as I did, and had no adverse reaction.

So we're now each having a tablespoon every day of Carlson's cod liver fish oil
