Ecstasy users[edit]

Vicks is also popular among ecstasy users, who generally rub the cream underneath the eyes.

If that is true, with what purpose? - Stormwatch 22:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above mentioned statement was unverifiable. However, concentrating the vapors to heighten the effects of Ecstasy is well documented. This entry has been updated to reflect consistent findings of use patterns among Ecstasy users. --Herbox 03:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old Vicks container[edit]

I have an old Vicks Vaporub "container" from way back; my grandfather bought it many years ago and it's still potent. It was bought sometime way before 1990 as it was still made by "Vick Chemical Company" instead of P&G.

It has no metric measurement of the product on the label, and the ingredients mention a "myristica oil" which I assume is Nutmeg oil. It is contained in a blue glass with the letters "VAPORUB 60" on the bottom. A two digit year, perhaps?

Anyway, I'll try to get a picture of it soon, as the Label is fading on me. 71.8.66.194 02:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a very old Vaporub jar in my medicine cabinet that says Vick Chemical Company "div of Richardson-Merrell Inc. New York NY 10017"...I know Richardson-Merrell moved to Connecticut in the 1970s,divided into Richardson-Vicks and Merrell Dow in 1982,and Richardson-Vicks was sold to P&G in 1985.12.144.5.2 (talk) 05:41, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Made in India[edit]

My Vicks VapoRub is made in India instead of Mexico. I wonder if the Mexican packaging is limited to States only? LittleWhisky 14:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"It is an Ayurveda medicine..." In what respect? Sergeirichard (talk) 07:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hear this stuff works on toe nail fungus, just as good as athletes foot cream. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.55.145 (talk) 04:09, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mom cured hers with it. Should be added. 74.129.68.132 (talk) 07:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
