TLDR: I bought this for the Escape from Tarkov meme, but I now love it for it’s intended purposes.

What it is:
– Great for keeping sinuses clear during allergy season or colds. (Applied under the nostrils. This is where the current Tarkov animation shows application I think. Not your lips.)
– Minor aches and pains. (Can be used kinda like VapoRub or IcyHot. Probably not as strong as IcyHot, but more pleasant.)
– Bug bites. (Great cooling, numbing effect.)
– Will blow the mind of anyone you know that grew up in the USSR. My coworker had a nostalgia trip when I showed it to him. Sure enough, he said it was a meme even in the 80’s and 90’s. Was/is seen as cure-all that was impossible to open.
– Smells great.

What it’s not:
– For your lips. (Unless you put VapoRub on your lips. Tarkov animation is probably putting it under the nose.)
– Easy to open. (Some tins are easier than others. Most get easier to open with time. I find the trick is to use both thumbnails to run along the seam of the tin, slowly leveraging it open from different angles.)
– Cure for your broken legs.
– Vision blurring. (Inhaling it might give a small rush lol, and is great for clearing the sinuses as previously mentioned.)

Give it a try.
