Sinus Blaster Pepper Spray Makes You Say Fuck

I'm fighting a cold and my sinuses are killing me. I wonder what the Scoville rating of this stuff is... I have some 1,000,000 Scoville-unit pepper extract ("Not A Sauce!" the label warns, "Food Additive Only!"). Maybe I should water it down and mix it in with my Afrin.

Or maybe not...

I've read that this stuff is good for anosia, too...it's been recommended to zicam users who want to smell again. ;-)

I used a Capsaicin-based ointment on my sunburned back once. Within 10 minutes I was in searing, writhing agony desperately trying to shower the shit off.

Eventually, the pain receptors on my back pooped out and yes...I felt no more sunburn.

But they should have mentioned on the packaging that to get there, it would feel like someone was flaying the flesh off my bones.

Capsaicin...Evil, evil, evil shit.

Am I the only one that noticed the product is labeled "Sinus Buster", not "Blaster"?

XM and Sirius say they are commercial free. That's why you have to pay for it - so you don't have to be blasted with stupid ads.

Both XM and Sirius claim "Commercial-Free Music." Stern falls in the talk-radio category. BTW-- this is my industry-- I can assure you that neither service will be commercial-free very long.

I just go with a good ol' teaspoon of chinese mustard...costs a lot less (you make it yourself from powder!) and can be used with yummy food (potstickers [gyoza],eggrolls/springrolls [harumaki], etc [etc]). It's funny when people pay for pain.

But since has curse words in it, I guess that makes it ok. IT'S EDGY. Which is another term for BS.

This reminds me of Idiocracy where Fuddruckers eventually becomes Buttfuckers over the next 500 years.

I'll take cursing over attaching a prodcut to "x-treme" sports.

XM must be kicking themselves for not publicizing the "edginess" of their spots better. They've had an ad airing for almost a year, at least, wherein someone says, "You really know your shit!"

In Romania it's common to use hot pepper compress (capsaicin, basically) to clear up the sinuses. This is just injecting the stuff directly. A friend of mine (whose Romanian college professor tipped her off to the compress method) speaks highly of it. She says it hurts like a bitch, but really does the job.

Falconfire,
I once bet a friend $5 to snort wasabi. He made $5.

Actually, as an herbalist, I bet this works quite well. Capsaicin--the hot stuff from cayenne pepper--is a powerful anti-snot medicine. In fact, I've even got it as an ingredient in my list of cheap-ass cold remedies. ...But I bet it *would* make you say "Fuck!". -M/PD

Isen: I think this is a classic case of trying to "distract" pain.

Capsaicin extract up your nose? Really? That sounds... REALLY painful.

This is like those stupid Amp'd Mobile ads that feature punk-asses saying "Amp'd's just got better shit." Sure they bleep it out but thats just not necessary. I'm no prude but I just find this stupid and distracting- which I guess is the intent.
