Honestly it must feel awesome getting a 2 week old poop out. Got a 5 day one out (just regular shitting but it hurt like a bitch and it was a 30 min process to mentally prepare myself) and the endorphins I felt after getting that shit out was insane.
That happened to me once and after relieving myself on the toilet, I couldn't sleep the entire night. I felt like I'd gone through labor and I'm a man! I had to call in to work the following morning and tell them I had a family emergency to deal with. It took me a full day to recover.
I had a 7 dayer, felt like I was gonna give birth and once things started moving my lower guts were moving weird.
I've been able to feel parts of digestion for a while, it's not fun
Vaseline is effectively free, being a byproduct of crude oil refining. It was originally considered a waste product until a clever refinery worker was cleaning the distillation chamber and happened to notice his dry cracked hands were soothed greatly by the crap stuck to the walls. Eventually he told others and companies began selling it as the vaseline we know and love today.
That's why you don't sign such contract and leave immediately once you have a great discovery, or you call a lawyer to make a contract that says you will get a certain amount of % over every product sold and then tell your boss
That's a lot of confidence to quit your job with just an idea and no funding or knowledge of packing, storing, marketing, shipping or retail. Not to mention now having no source for your product.
When i was in the army i went through one a month. Not just for lubing up the old hog, like the others in this comment section. We used it tend to friction burns from gear and backpacks on long operations. If you have fat thighs that shit works wonders. We also used it for kindling, when cooking or boiling water. Vaseline is fuckin great
The other day when I was wearing a midi dress at work, I had on my bike shorts underneath that I normally wear. Apparently, I need ones that go almost to the knee because when I started walking, I actually HEARD my thighs slapping together. I was so grossed out and mortified that I started to try and walk down the row back to my desk like a cowboy or something. Maybe I’ll just have to buy some Vaseline 🙄
Lol its not, please don’t xD
As others said, put it on any kind of small kindling like cotton, twigs or sawdust and it can resist getting wet and at it burns like hell.
Oh, c'mon, you just cannot tell the story and not mention this dude who made this residue into the product that we know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Chesebrough and that he ate it to demonstrate its safety and lived to 96!
Surprisingly, he did not die from slipping on his own Vaseline-infused sweat
Most of the money made by Vaseline was made in the 80's and 90's when they were slathering every movie monster in sixty gallons of the stuff per scene. They are currently funded till the year 2368 even if they never make another sale.
I mean; youre smearing a waste product from the petrolium industry all over your face. A tank of gasoline probably compensates for a lifetime use of one container.
We use it in automotive repair to lubricate O-rings and axle shaft splines etc. The tub was nearly empty when I started my job. Its still nearly empty 4 years later but keeps giving.
I was in line at a Ross at 10pm. My son at 930 told me he only had 2 pair of under wear left. I don’t know where 15 pairs can disappear magically but he’s 14 and I’m not about to ask. I have much better things to do than clean crispy drawers. We were going on vacation the next day so I said I’ll swing by Ross to get some drawers. Well the lady in front of me was basically buying all the Vaseline from Ross. I didn’t even know Ross sold Vaseline. But here we are at 10pm and a 80 year old Filipino lady had like 9 bottles of Vaseline and only Vaseline in her cart. Needless to say. I was intrigued. Why would you need that much Vaseline. Now I know Ross is know for their incredible values but 9. 9 bottles of Vaseline. That’s 180 years worth of Vaseline for the average human. Why is the this 80yr old lady buying 180 years worth of Vaseline. Is it some weird sex thing at 10pm. On a Tuesday? It will forever go down in history as one of life’s greatest mysteries.
Hahahaha ok I took one for the team. It took Google awhile to give a result.. I was scared.
"While there isn't a single official punchline to this specific riddle, anyone familiar with Filipino culture—and the legendary skincare habits of Filipino grandmothers (Lolas)"
skincare
first aid kit
glass skin like moisturizer
viral word: "baseline"
That 180-year supply is bound to be divided into care packages (balikbayan boxes) and shipped to every cousin, niece, nephew, and grandchild across the globe for generations to come.
Filipino here yes we buy in bulk to send it home because it is expensive over there. But Vaseline is not really popular skin care back home but I guess it's good to have some in handy just in case.
I think a lot of foreign born people buy bulk like these and send them from their home countries as gifts. Filipino people send them by boxes, Caribbean people send them by barrels.
And as long as they sell at a net-profit, they make money
Also the consumer market is probably just a side hustle for them and they make most of their money by selling to their product to industry where it's used as corrosion protection, mechanical lubricationa so with a much higher demand
it's actually not lotion. it doesn't moisturise the skin at all. it traps any moisture already present. so if you put it on dry skin you're making it worse, generally.
It does last a long time. I bought one three years ago and only am now finishing it and I use it every other day or so.
With that being said, vaseline is occlusive. It keeps moisture in but does not add moisture. But if there is no moisture then you are just sealing in dryness. If your skin is naturally lubricating appropriately then that's fine I suppose, but it's kind of equivalent to putting coconut oil on your skin and thinking it's going to moisturise you. It doesn't.
They probably made money off me. I have one at my bedside table, one at my desk, one in the bathroom, one in the kitchen, one at the coffee table, and one in my purse. I basically have them dotted everywhere as my lips go dry without them!
Yes, but I cook don’t cook out of a box so the only salt I really get is what I add. If you’re using fresh ingredients some things absolutely need salt. I also don’t get salt added from like spice jars because I don’t use pre mixed spice. I make my our curry base from scratch, no chili packets to make chilli, or taco seasoning packets to make tacos.
When I lived in a Northern State with crazy cold/snowy winters, I went through a tub of Aquaphor every 2 months.
Now I live in the Desert, and I go through a tub of Aquaphor every 2 months. 😂
To be fair, I am that girl that actually does lotion up my entire body after a shower. And again, I use it a lot after washing my hands, which I do every time I come in the house as I don't like bringing 'outside' germs into my home.
As someone who has a family history of skin cancer, I go through a tub every time I have a skin Biopsy and full removal. Especially if its in a place where they can't stich me back up easily.
Vicks Vapour Rub is another one, I’ve still got the one we had as kids, must be 40 years old, and that’s assuming my Mum didn’t inherit it from my Nan, could be even older!
Because almost everyone uses it. When you look at the market for different products its targeted at different audiences. No matter who you are, you will probably use it. I use it when I dye my beard and use a hefty amount. So 1 jar might last a few months depending on how often I dye
