Sadly, they're all empty, without labels and without lids, but the bottoms of all the jars have Vicks Vaporub embossed. Has anyone else seel the light blue colored jar?

I do not feel happy or comfortable unless I know that at least one jar of Vicks is in my home at all times. In fact, when I signed up for a LiveJournal account online, I tried to claim the username "Vicksvaporub", but it was taken...so I befriended the person who had the name (she's since changed it, and then deleted her journal). A few months ago, while at a huge antique mall, I bought a vintage jar of Vicks with the original label and actual glass jar, thinking it was fairly old. I put it on my bathroom counter as "decor" and smiled lovingly at it each morning. The thing is, it must not really be that old at all, because when I got my last cold (about 3 weeks ago), I was so desperate to feel better that I opened the antique Vicks and started using it -- and it's still potent and filled with menthol-y goodness. Vicks from 1857 would probably have lost its menthol by now, don'cha think? Even post WW2-Vicks or Summer Of Love Vicks would show some kind of change in consistency, I'm betting. So I might have been a wee bit ripped off. I found this article when I decided to see if there was a fan club online anywhere for Vick-ophiliacs! I guess there sort of is! :-) I, too, have always adored Vicks Vaporub — since childhood, when I would sit at my kiddie desk and draw pictures of the jar of Vicks.
