The Versatility Of Vick Vapour Rub

[Bobbisox1]

I honestly had the best nights sleep last night after covering the soles of my feet with it , I’d heard it many times before and poo-pooed it but since having covid my sleep pattern hasn’t been good , I really hope this isn’t seen as an advert for the stuff , it isn’t but it definitely worked although Lola who’s been my shadow throughout, backed away haha , my smell and taste haven’t returned yet so it didn’t bother me anyway

I used to dab some on the outside of their vest, that way they couldn't get it it on their hands.

I suppose it would be frowned on to put whisky in a baby's bottle. (not neat, obviously)

[Bobbisox1]

I’ve heard of folk dipping a baby’s dummy in it, eweeeee

[Atheist]

You need to dip the moist corner of a hanky into the whisky and give it to little baby to suck.

[Bobbisox1]

Can you imagine putting that on Mumsnet Athiest, they’d take to their beds :0)))

Did you know that Vick is banned in certain countries. For instance to be even carrying a Vick nasal inhaler in Japan could put you in prison.

[Bobbisox1]

Gosh, No I didn’t :0(

Must say when the squirrels get it on their nether parts climbing my pole they do go a bit fast and furious.

[Bobbisox1]

Aww Togo poor squirrels , their lil nuts must be hot :0)))

[andres]

You had better^^^ cancel that trip to Tokyo ,bobbi

[Bobbisox1]

It’s somewhere I’ve never fancied Andre’s , ( just as well )

[gness]

Were I doing this I’d put it under a Mepore dressing, Bobbie. Nothing on the bedding and maybe even more benefit?

Sqad, are you sure you're not confusing Vicks with Vaseline?

[Bobbisox1]

I can also attest that Vicks works as they mention in some cop shows. I was once drinking in a low-class combination hotel-rooming house, and the caretaker, a friend of mine, asked me to go upstairs with him to check a room. We'd got partway up the stairs when I said "Splike, go to the convenience store and buy some Vick's." Anyway, we smeared our upper lips and nostrils with Vicks and opened the door. We were hit with this really rotten, fetid odour from a blackish swollen body lying on the bed...Closed the door and called the cops. It turned out that the dead guy had overdosed and been lying there for almost a week in the Summer heat. That Vicks we smeared on really kept the stench down a bit.

[Bobbisox1]

Sanmac, that’s gross :0/

[sanmac]

I realize that, Bobbisox, but it did happen. I couldn't understand why the caretaker didn't realize that something was amiss by the odour in the stair-well.

[Smowball]

I am just dying to know if anyone has tried Sqads unusual use of Vickes that he has heard of!!lol.
