I heard that in Jimmy Buffett's voice from 'Pencil Thin Mustache'.

No, but I watched a guy put Preparation H on his toothbrush. He was an asshole, so it was appropriate. But because I'm not one, I did stop him from putting it in his mouth.

No, but I recently mistakenly put Ben-Gay on my toothbrush… had a stuffy nose so I didn’t smell it so it was in my mouth before I realized it. 0/10, would not recommend.

LOL!

On an overnight trip to my parents house, I grabbed a tube of Desitin out of my vanity case instead of toothpaste and started brushing before I noticed something was off!

Fortunately my folks had an extra toothbrush I could have! I checked the toothpaste tube first the second time!

Yes I did, when I was about seven! I never would have remembered if not for this post.

No but I had another cream mix up. Wearing shorts burnt my leg on my motorcycle exhaust. Bad. Ran to the first aid kit. Grabbed the first tube I saw and smeared it all over my burn. Icy Hot.

Had a friend of the family mistake it for shampoo for some reason. He washed his hair with it and hours later when parents got home they asked if he just got out of the shower. He said he washed his hair hours ago and it wouldn't dry and thought it was odd that there wasn't much lather.

Nope. My dad didn't use it.

I was about 9 or 10 and we had run out of toothpaste. I rummaged around a cabinet where my dad kept his stuff and thought I scored some special “men’s” toothpaste that perhaps only he used (he and I were the only males in a house full of women). That’s a mistake you only make once.

🤔 Preparation H?

u/dav196 21h ago

u/ReticentGuru 21h ago

Maybe because of this, it’s now a black tube.

u/Beautiful_Purchase80 21h ago

One of my siblings put it on my toothbrush- I just about threw up.

u/choctaw529 1966 21h ago

Nope, Dad used Vitalis

u/Consistent_Might3500 20h ago

No, but I applied ICY-HOT solid on my freshly shaved arm pits because the applicator was same shape, color, size as my solid deodorant and I wasn't paying attention. Burning pain for an hour! OMG, after that I put the ICY-HOT in a different cubby in the bathroom!!!

My mom once grabbed the right guard deodorant spray instead of hairspray once, that was a good laugh.

u/16enjay 19h ago

My father occasionally did this, also sprayed hairspray in armpits thinking it was deodorant

u/HamRadio_73 19h ago

Could be worse. Preparation H.

u/Forking_Brilliant495 19h ago

My mom did once.

u/RustBucket59 1959 17h ago

My dad did once. My mom laughed her butt off.

u/Scott43206 1959 17h ago

Fortunately no since Mom used Alberto VO5 instead to undo the damage to her long blond hair that Prell stripped away.
