 antique bottle of cough syrup
This is a half-bottle of cough syrup, from back in the day when cough syrup was a powerful narcotic that you'd need a prescription, a hefty bribe, and a note from the governor to get today. And it's been sitting in that cabinet, thickening and congealing for god-only-knows how long. This is gonna be some primo stuff.
