If so, here’s the fact: you guys have been using it wrongly.

If you’ve bothered to read the instructions, the popular Vicks inhaler isn’t for you to just “smell”, or for you to poke into your nose like a chao Ah Beng. In order for it to work (I’m just presuming that you’re using it because you’ve got a blocked nose), you need to follow these steps.

  1. Insert the inhaler into one of your nostrils (your nose hole lah)
  2. Use a finger to close your other nostril
  3. Inhale deeply (very deeply)
  4. Do the same for the other nostril

When you inhale deeply, you’ll sometimes experience a brain freeze, but don’t worry, it’ll be just for less than a second.

After that, you’ll feel a strong, chill sensation in your nose (that might go down your throat) and it will be unblocked.
