Oh my God, my entire childhood was having this stuff rubbed on my scrapes. Soon as it went on the scrape, you started blowing on it. I am honestly surprised. We’re all still alive.

Dolly Parton has said that she used to put it on her lips, because her dad wouldn't let her wear makeup and it couldn't be washed off!
