I will never forget Vicks Vaporub because it had been part of my childhood. I remember how my lola used to put Vicks ointment over my chest and on my back when I couldn’t sleep due to colds. We always have a tiny bottle of Vicks available inside the cabinet so I can just put some on my nostrils whenever I couldn’t breathe. I also remember the Vicks candies, the small green triangular (if I am not mistaken) menthol candies that I used to buy in sari-sari stores when I was still a kid.
Until these days, we have Vicks in our first aid kit for those seasons when colds can’t really be avoided. My youngest has allergic rhinitis and so she actually takes in antihistamines as prescribed when she has allergic attacks. However, Vicks come in handy when she needs immediate comfort when her nostrils are blocked due to allergy or colds.
Sometimes, my husband and I go on dates and watch movies during Senior Citizen days. As my husband and I usually talks about it, we notice how the cinema smells of Vicks during those days. This just shows how this popular this ointment is even for senior citizens.
This week, I received a box full of Vicks products, and some of them I’ve just seen for the first time. It’s a complete package of wellness and I am definitely keeping it as a go-to-box during the times when we need relief for our breathing.
The box includes the following Vicks products :
Vicks Vaporub – Camphor, Menthol Eucalyptus Oil Cold Vaporising Ointment
VapoCool Candies in 3 flavors- Dual Action Cools & Refreshes Soothes Instantly
Original Menthol Candy
Butter Menthol Candy (this one’s my favorite)
Cooling Peppermint
Vicks Formula 44 Cough Control Antitussive Syrup
Vicks Tea ( I am not very sure though if this one’s in the market)
Vicks Inhaler – Camphor + Menthol
