For crying out loud! DO NOT use Vick's VapoRub
internally, and tell your people to cut it out too!
It says right on it, you're only supposed to use it
externally, that's outside your body.
It has eucalyptus and other things in it, so I
guess it'd taste like that. But please don't eat it!!!

VapoRub will not hurt you-if it did, it wouldn't be marketed for use on the skin.
I ate it as a kid as part of my asthma regimen. It basically tastes like mentholated petroleum jelly. It kind of burns going down, it opens up the passages and I totally understand why people you know use it for a sore throat.
It will not hurt you, but it's not recommended for use internally. I don't know why, because part of how it works is it's absorption into the body through the skin...same difference.

That sould not be eating at all it smells baby so dont even try it
