Background[]
Development history[]
The medicine is a tribute to the Disney film Mary Poppins (1964) where the titular magical nanny gives the children medicine from a similar bottle before singing the song, "A spoonful of sugar (helps the medicine go down)". The bottle's naming is a reference to how Mary Poppins describes herself as being, "Practically perfect in every way". Within the film, the bottled medicine was a connection to the Polio vaccine.
