WATCH: Teen girl freaks out as she’s forced to down castor oil

The trauma of drinking castor oil is felt in this video.


Anyone that has ever had a taste of castor oil knows too well the trauma of the whole experience. From the very smell of it as it touches your tongue to the horrific after taste.

Her experience after swallowing is all too nostalgic.
