Shh..don't use the V word: it is a registered name and its use could , with a very feverish imagination, be construed as advertising

Did you hear Vaseline is coming out with new labels for its petroleum jelly?

They're going to have a picture of missing gerbils on it.

car battery terminals,,,,,,,,stops corrosion..........dont use ordinary grease on them......it attacks the lead

if you are going to use fibre glass resin stuff rubbing some"V......"........stops it sticking to your skin of course most sensible people might use gloves, but some gloves are latex which can have an allergic reaction

preventing chaffing...
that's chaffing on the body not to be confused with a chaffinch which is a bird

however, if you smeared it on your bird feeders they'd slip off...apparently that works to deter squirrels who are distantly related to guinea pigs

There's obviously a link between Petroleum Jelly & Guinea Pigs-this is a discovery, GR should be proud :-0
