A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

I HAD A COWD IN MY NOSE: As someone who's finishing getting over a cold, as always, I must sing the praises of Vicks VapoRub as an easy and effective way of dealing with some of a cold's more sleep-depriving symptoms and helping clear up that congestion, but wanted to note two innovations in VapoRub technology--one praiseworthy and one utterly confusing:

• VapoRub Cream--it's VapoRub, except rather than the stuff in the greasy Vasoline-like jar which sticks to sheets and clothing and is impossible to get off your hands, it's in a cream form that dissolves but still sends the vapors to clear the congestion.
• VapoRub Lemon--It's the old gel VapoRub, except rather than smelling like VapoRub, it smells like lemons. Certainly, the VapoRub smell is "medicine-y" (for lack of a better term), but the pungent menthol odor is actually soothing and helps clear things out in a way that a scented product wouldn't.
