Pepto Bismol Box
Pepto-Bismol got its name from a combination of words related to its function and ingredients:
-
"Pepto" comes from peptic, referring to digestion and the stomach.
-
"Bismol" is derived from bismuth, the active ingredient (bismuth subsalicylate), which helps soothe the stomach and treat digestive issues.
Originally, it was called "Bismosal" when it was created in the early 1900s to treat stomach infections, but the name later evolved into Pepto-Bismol to emphasise its digestive benefits.

Artist
Felt artist Lucy Sparrow is one of the most exciting and original artists working in the UK today. Her practice is quirky yet subversive, luring the audience in with her soft, tactile, colourful felt creations. She took the art world by storm in Summer 2014 with the opening of her fully stocked felt Corner shop installation in London’s East End. With queues around the block and wall-to-wall media coverage, the installation was both a commercial and critical success.
Lucy since then has opened a Convenience Store and is shown in galleries from London to Los Angeles with no sign of slowing down.
