As expected, digestive remedies are
also colored to psychologically suggest their effectiveness.
Probably the most popular stomach remedy in the United States
is so closely associated with the color pink that the manufacturer
attempted to trademark that particular shade. Surprisingly,
that big pink bottle of Pepto Bismol does not contain any
Red Dye #40! It does, however, contain D&C Red #22 and
D&C Red #28 (Note that they are labeled "D&C"
without the "F", meaning the dye is approved for
use in Drugs and Cosmetics but not for food.)
