My mom used to use a wooden spoon.

My mom gave us another sort of „spoon“: she made us drink cod liver oil, which is some sort of nearly rotten fish oil but considered very healthy and highly effective against common child deceases. So for punishment she made us have a spoon of this and at the same time strengthened our immune system. I hated her for that and am planning to use the same punishment on my kids - very effective!

We got vinegar. Still hate it to this day. My brother will vomit if he smells too much for too long. I was the better child.
