A chiropractor once gave my mom homeopathic pills. I was a kid and didn't even know what homeopathy was at the time, but she gave me one and I said, "mom, this is sugar." She tried to argue with me about it and I kept telling her I know what sugar tastes like.

Nicely done. The best case scenario is sugar. Most of the time, it's nothing but water, and maybe a single drop of 100x already diluted more water, that maybe once had something non-water in it. That is, of course, assuming the machines doing the literal magic shaking didn't spill the "active ingredient".
