I love the taste of aspirin, and I know why. My parents would occasionally give me one when I was sick. Bring too little to swallow it whole, they would have me chew it up when I was sick. (This was way before baby aspirin and way, way before anyone said not to give aspirin to babies.)

That was about the only time they paid me any attention at all. I came to associate the taste of aspirin with parental love. To me, it is comfort food. I'm just lucky I didn't become a hypochondriac.
