Is Vick's VapoRub bullshit?

Placebo bullshit? That damn thing clears nostrils like it's plowing through them.

I hate the smell of the thing, and no it's not a replacement for medicine, ffs, but it does help when you have a cold.

It's just sypmtomtic, and won't actually cure anything.

If you're in pain, or congested, there are much more effective means of treating the symptoms than slathering yourself in Vicks
 
It's really refreshing if you are rolling on Molly.

I can confirm that rubbing on feet and wearing socks does help with a cough. If you're a small child. I have no evidence to suggest that it works (or doesn't work) on an adult.

I have to say I came in here expecting you all to say it was bullshit. I'm glad it's not. I might go share that picture on Facebook to all my friends now.
 
It feels nice, smells nice, tingles a bit, and looks blue. It loosens my snot which makes it good in my my book.
 
Vicks VapoRub. Apply directly to the anything!

But yeah, my mom would always use this stuff on me when I was sick. I'm not entirely sure if it helped or not.
 
It's pretty good if you have stiff muscles, my neck and shoulders give me trouble and having them massaged with some Vick's definitely does work.
 
What I'm learning is this stuff is basically magic and I'm stupid for not owning a container of it.
 
this is exactly where he got this lol

I swear I've seen the exact same thing with "coconut oil" instead shared by idiot moms

Coconut oil really is a miracle product though.

At least when it comes to using it for pets, both on their skin and in their food.
 
I used some the other day for my cold, and yes it helps. It doesn't cure anything of course, but it helps alleviate certain symptoms due to the extreme menthol. I applied some before going to bed (I hate using Vicks VaporRub to be honest) and then showered the next morning, 'cause ultimately I just want the residue off of me, lol
 
I just used Vicks on my chest last night to clear up some congestion and it stopped me from coughing all night.

My folks swear by it. Didn't know you weren't supposed to put it directly underneath your nostrils though.

It will help open up the airways.

What happens if you rub it on your dick? Asking for a friend.

Burn like fuck I think.
Did remember a story (think it was a comedy show) of a guy, during a sexual encounter went to get some vaseline, and instead slathered vicks all his cock haha
 
I just used some Vicks last night to help with a cough I've had the last couple days. Worked like gangbusters - I was asleep within 10 minutes of application.

It's a great product. I've used it since I was a kid.
 
It's good for stopping Meerkats fighting new arrivals.

In a first in the world of zoo keeping, animal experts have successfully set up a new group of meerkats with the help of a decongestant rub.

Three new arrivals at Paultons Park, near Ower, have been introduced to the park's two resident meerkats.

To prevent the animals from attacking the newcomers - which is the usual instinct for meerkats - the keepers came up with the ingenious idea of using Vicks VapoRub.

The novel solution involves rubbing Vicks on the animals' noses, under their tails and around their enclosure to block their scent for a couple of days.

It has been such a success they are now recommending it to other animal keepers.

Vicks is bullshit because you to some random image on Facebook as official advertising? Woooooooooooow

Can't believe people believe Facebook images

I was joking about it being advertising from Vick's.

Also, if you take a minute to read through the comments in here, it looks as if most of the claims are indeed true.

I don't know if you were being serious, but if you were, ignore me. I like to point out sarcasm to people that can't recognize it.
 
I haven't used this in like 15 years. I remember it used to feel good but whether it helped with anything else I still have no idea.
 
I would not recommend putting that under your nostrils. Runny and congested nose comes together for me, which usually means under my nostrils is all chafed. I put it behind my ears, neck, and chest.
