I prefer an older woman with some "pushin' cushion" on her body. I don't want to bottom out and feel the floor carpet under the "carpet".

Bile Beans is a lot better than Carter's Little Fartter Starters.

Disgusting name and just another snake oil derivative.

I like the name of another quack medicine that's mentioned in the Wikipedia article: Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
