Alan Bellows said: “SEN said: “Oh yeah, it’s up there with Duct Tape!”

Vaseline can undo the sticky powers of duct tape… haven’t you ever played Duct Tape/Vaseline/Scissors?”

Oh. I thought it was “Duct Tape/Vaseline/Blow Torch”…

No wonder no one will play with me.

Funny about Money said: “”Is there anything it can’t do?” Apparently it can’t be made in America. It’s another product that’s been offshored to China. Since this and a related product, Mentholatum, are things I grew up using on my face and around the nose and mouth when we had colds, that makes the product essentially unusable for those of us who don’t trust the quality of made-in-China products. Too bad. Another of many once commonplace items that no longer exist, no longer are of a quality one feels safe with, or simply no longer made in America.

Interesting commentary on duct tape!”

Oops! make that “can’t”…

I wish McDonalds would hurry the hell up and realise this!
