I love this stuff so much. I can't help but keep it around constantly. When you're sick, there's nothing that helps better than this. I'll just rub a little of this on my chest and lay in bed. It's like magic, lol. I have learned to be more careful when I use it because it will make anything it touches smell like menthol. There's a reason why this has been around forever, it just works. Sure, taking cold pills will help, but when you need an instant relief from your cold, this is it. I love all the things that Vick puts out, but this is the original.
