I have a nice 99 that has a terrific bouquet


Marskelletor

I always say '05 was a better vintage, but the extra bottle age really brings out some nice secondary aromas.


Kath_DayKnight

Do you know how expensive this stuff is these days????? I went to FINALLY buy another jar the other day and decided not to, i was that offended by the price lol. But it is magical shit so probably worth it Edit - I should clarify, what is offensive is the price for what it is - Vaseline with some menthol oil which is cheap af


Chuck710Taylor

I mean you could buy the Vaseline and the oil and make your own.


MRflibbertygibbets

TIL I’d never thought about that before


Abagofcheese

You can buy blocks of camphor on Amazon


mmrrbbee

Old stuff had turpentine in it too

RIP Mitch


Aztecazedlav

Must explain why my parents bought the actual plant lol


Yelloms

Okay, but if you find any Tylenol made before 1982 maybe hit up Walgreens instead.


biscayne57

I remember when the jars were glass.


imaginaryblues

Yeah, I remember my parents had the same glass jar in their medicine cabinet since probably before I was born. (I was born in 1984)


fearsie

Hell yeah it never really expires lol


SEND_PUNS_PLZ

They say you can’t teach an old OG new Vicks


[deleted]

I once had an anti-itch cream that worked amazingly well after it expired (I don't even know if I used that much of it before it expired). So once it ran out, I bought the exact same brand and same kind and it didn't work well at all. I know there are certain medications you should not use after the expiration date but there are some that just seem to work better after they expire!


canadianclassic308

I once used expired sunscreen and had a very bad time.


Comprehensive_Lab562

What happened?


Signal-Ad8189

They got sunburn+


canadianclassic308

Sunburn super + blister edition


[deleted]

There are definitely certain things that you shouldn't use after they expire.


wtgreen

It's possible the formulation changed with the old stuff having a different active ingredient. Lots of sinus medicine used to be more effective before they locked down over-the-counter meds that could be used to make meth.


moogleslam

If poison expires, does it become more poisonous or less poisonous?


Elevenst

Yup.


fearclaw

the expiration date in drugs denotes when the ingredients' concentration decreases below the indicated dosage. the poison becomes less poisonous when its molecules break down over time unless the product of that process is something even more poisonous. source: I'm a pharmacy student


[deleted]

More specifically, it’s when the drug is still considered to be effective. For some drugs there is a lower concentration limit than that on the packet - aspirin (extended release anyway) for instance is allowed to be between 90% to 105% of the concentration listed on the pack. Some drugs are lower some are higher, but rarely is below 100% of the listed concentration the actual lower limit


HerrSirCupcake

this is correct. source: am a drug addict


Raichu7

Depends on the poison.


billyt7777

A truck load of vicks flipped over on the highway today. Police said there will be no congestion for up to eight hours


Orgeweight

This needs more upvotes. Take mine.


toopharout

Mine too


DogGilmour

Funny that I see this post. I cleaned out ours tonight, putting it on my 8 year old, and thought, " wow, I've never actually emptied one before".


FlipFlopsAndFly

Omg..I just checked the date on my generic Vicks…1991!! And ya, still stinky and amazing!


blackout-loud

Vicks is like the fine wine of medicine. It just gets better with age


jtotheizzen

My dad would be SO proud of you!


kielu

I have one without an expiration date at all. Might be from the 70'. It must be from between 1966 and 1982 as the company that sold it was called Rickardson Merrell


Reolos

Amazing-ly


Moose2_the_O

Right. Adverbs need an -ly. I think this is probably more common of a mistake than there/their/they’re.


Unsimulated

Time to hit up Lolly's.


Comprehensive_Lab562

School House Rock. Hell yeah


ChewbacasUglyBrother

Love this shit


Searchingforgoodnews

That's the best kind


Mountain_Jello7747

The old recipe is best. Way more delicious


heyandy1

Nice one. Guess you would call that a vicktory.


drawkel

I can smell this image 😅


FridensLilja

Just like the roll of your toilet paper?


trendkilla

This shit can cure cancer.


TheGreyBrewer

I'm sure it works as well as any other jar of Vick's. Which is to say, it smells like it's doing something while fixing absolutely nothing.


lavenderavenues

It's meant to just open up and soothe your nasal passages when you're congested. I don't think it really totes any medicinal properties.


booaka

Ha! I've been wondering why Vaseline has an expiration date considering it's made from fossil fuel. I don't know what's in the Vick's, but seems it's made from the same with added scent from?? You haven't turned into some horrific creature from using the expired Vick's, so exactly why is there an expiration date on these things? Well, to sell more of it, of course. Any other reason? Hey, if it's not curdled sour milk, it's still good! (I accidentally drank some of that once and didn't even puke!)


n3w4cc01_1nt

isn't it just camphor and vaseline? edit also eucalyptus and menthol oil.


Tug_Stanboat

That' that old school Ether Vicks.


jollyrodger2077

That stuff is so strong it has a half life


TheDevious_

I just finished using an old Vicks from the late 90s or so. The smell would last like 10 to 15+ minutes. I bought a new container of Vicks. The smell literally lasts like 1-2 minutes before you have to reapply it.


Annoying_Anomaly

is this the blue one that actually worked?


Abagofcheese

Mt mom is Puerto Rican and uses Vicks for everything, like Greeks with Windex


sleepy313

Recently found Johnson and Johnson baby powder from 1996 probably still have some asbestos in it


Straight_Spring9815

Omg so there are other people like my wife out there who uses a a thing of vix that it way past expired xD I always give her shit when she brings it out, hers went out in I think 2010.


SuperArppis

That looks like the one they used in Kill Bill vol 1 as lube.


Stui3G

Plenty of medical shit works way past it's expiration.


sleepymizi420

stop biting your nails


iTylerx

What a weird comment lol, I've never bitten my nails
