Love the cod liver oil I don't need the plastic syringe as I just use the same teaspoon daily to consume and wash down my throat with a bottle of water. I wipe the teaspoon down with a disposable wet wipe every time. Prefer not to scrub it with my dish washing scrub as the pungent cod liver oil smell tends to leave its pungent smell on everything it comes into contact with. I tried the syringe but it didn't work for me (was gagging trying to use it) and I ended up just putting it in the bin :) Thank you for a great product! The cod liver oil is helping me out a tonne, health wise :) :)
