Is anyone else obsessed with the smell of Deep Heat?

Asked by shrubbery (10326points) May 12th, 2008

Ok so I’m not obsessed but I do love it, it reminds me of sarsparella (possibly called root beer in america?) and the burning sensation feels so good :P

I like it as well. I had some from Thailand, a yellowish oil, that was extra strong.

I find Tiger Balm strangely compelling.

Deep Heat. Deep Heat. Deep Heat!

Meh, find it tickles my nose a bit much…...tiger balm actually doesn’t smell as strong as it is – probably why it’s kinda dangerous, you want to touch it and taste it, but you really shouldn’t.

This is the stuff I used to use. Man does it burn!

Wildflower, for the uninitiated amongst us… why shouldn’t you touch it? What is it?

wildflower's avatar

it’s similar to deep heat and you really don’t want to put it anywhere near your mouth or eyes…..although great practical joke to pull on someone; put some of it on your finger, tell your friend they have something just below their eye and offer to remove it. They’ll be in tears for an hour….was popular trick back in school.

no but legit, what are these terrible substances you speak of?

delirium's avatar

…what’s deep heat, then?

wildflower's avatar

cream for muscle aches that give a burning or ‘heat’ sensation when rubbed in to the skin. Great for a sniff neck but the smell is a tad overpowering (menthol, euchalyptus type smell)

Oooh, interesting! I’ve never heard of this stuff before (obviously) but it sounds incredible. Like the kind of stuff that I would get for my shoulders. Mmmmm… goes out to buy some

Deep Heat in the eyes is the second most painful thing I’ve experienced

I can think of one spot equal or worse than that.

All I can say is, wash the hands well after usage…

Ew. I use gloves anyway, otherwise your fingers go numb haha
