Mary Poppins did not refer to a spoonful of sugar as first thought. She was in fact considering the primitive form of angel dust/pcps. Notice how it makes the 'medicine go down' a mellow ride.

I have never met any pros lately going for tuppence, and my old man says, there werent any slappers for tuppance back in his days either
