If you happen to develop a mouth ulcer while in Tenerife and wander into a farmacia to ask for something like Bonjela, do not believe the smiley assistant that fobs you off with a tube of Sanodin ‘Gel’.
In the first place there is nothing remotely gel-like about this stuff. It is brownish and gritty and after applying it in innocent expectation of immediate soothing relief from a nippy mouth ulcer you are more likely to make a bee-line for the mirror in disbelief. It turns into super-glue in your mouth and cements your lips to your teeth leaving you feeling like Neo in the Matrix after the machines had melted his mouth shut.
Very weird. And quite honestly all I can say after that experience is mmmmmphhf.



Hilarious!
