Was I the only kid victimized
by this poorly constructed and misleading ad?

Couldn't go to school that day.

Maker's Mark, honey and lemon juice always worked for me . . . . Well, maybe not always but it did OK anyway.

Darn old peter pain..Might want a nice soothing topical ointment, rather than that aggressive Ben-Gay.

I used a nice little product called "HEAT"

I used to use Absorbine Jr., before they took out the joy juice that cured athaleet's feet. (I heard a college edumokated guy say "athlete" like that today...cracked me up.)

Ben Gay maximum strength is pretty potent stuff. I injured my elbow and it was hurting so bad it woke me up. Aspirin didn't seem to help much, so rubbed in that menthol creme. Da-yum! Burned so bad I forgot all about the internal injury! Didn't smell too bad, though, sorta like a big wad of Copenhagen dip. Thankfully that burn only lasted an hour or so.

Now, if you think that's bad, you should check out Tiger Balm! Tiger Balm Maximum Strength, in the very tiny (1 oz?) tin is dangerously powerful. I don't recall the exact percentages, but when I was standing in the pharmacy comparing packages, Tiger Balm had something like 3X or 4X the menthol of Ben Gay. It probably feels like molten lava.

So Rodge, how long have you Ben Gay?

I've found that cinnamon oil works better than Ben Gay and it's generic equivalent, and it smells nicer too. Damned hard to find, though....

I had Peter Pain once. Penicillin shot at the clinic cured it.
