You didn't see the Jackass movie did you? |
|
|
That would *really* hurt. |
|
|
I can breathe again! But everything smells like...pain!!! |
|
|
I would rather insert mucus-digesting weevils. |
|
|
//But everything smells like...pain!!!//
Hey, Overpanic, can I use that on my race bike? |
|
|
I am afraid I would try this ...at least once. <g> |
|
|
[td]-yes give people the choice, a fine produce suggestion. |
|
|
The home remedy version of this idea is to eat the spicy stuff [link]. If you spray wasabi up your nose, you'll probably need to find your doctor, who will suggest, "next time, just see me first." |
|
|
Steve-O On the Jackass movie snorted wasabi and puked all over the place ... could be used as a cruel joke, perhaps |
|
|
Try gargling with half a teaspoon of Baccardi 151 (Rum, 75% Alcohol) for a minute, twice in a row. It also hurts like hell but it works for me every time. |
|
|
[Letsbuildafort] Go right ahead. Put anything on your bike you like. |

My dare-devil oldest brother once attempted to drink a jar of hot pepper juice. Needless to say he didn't succeed. His throat closed down and he suffocated for awhile. Crazy man. He would also use this nose spray, I bet... I'll ask him. |
|
|
Yep. He says, "Probably, at least once." |
|
|
I've never tried Wasabi - is it much stronger than traditional strong horseradish? I usually treat a blocked nose by eating a large curry. Whether it works or not I get a lovely curry and hence care less about the cold than I did before. |
|
|
It has sizeable kick, wasabi. But it is true a lovely curry takes your mind off your problems. |
|
|
Yes, [k_sra], I did try to drink the juice from a jar of jalapenos once. (I feel like Adam Sandler's character from Punch Drunk Love: no, I don't remember throwing a sledgehammer through a glass patio door.) |
|
|
I love sushi because of the wasabi. Whenever I eat sushi, I try to get enough wasabi to break past the point where I'm confident I will emerge unharmed. If I'm afraid I won't make it, then I'm doing it right. Does this make me a jackass? Not exactly. As far as I know, the guys on dumbass...jack--whatever, only try stupid things once. Doing the same stupid thing ("do or do not...there is no try") over and over doesn't make a good show. But to me, OD'ing on wasabi feels like the first time, every time. |
|
|
Putting wasabi into a nasal spray would let me forsake the sake and raw fish part of this ritual. Less socially acceptable, but also more convenient. Against my better judgement, I fork over the croissant I stole from mom's purse... |
|
|
And let me revise what I said to [k_sra] earlier: Probably, at least once...a week. |
|
|
Send me a picture if you actually go out and do it, [fort]. It'll do me ma proud. |

"Ralph ate the purple berries. How are they Ralph?"
-Bart Simpson
"They taste like... burning"
-Ralph Wiggum |

|
Consuming the stuff is effective enough, have you seen the JACKASS movie, in which Steve-O snorts wasabi? It didn't look enjoyable. |
|
|
[fogfreak] Yes, nasal swelling is the most common cause of nasal congestion. And nose sprays acually combat the swelling, not the booger production. It seems that spicy foods also seem to reduce swelling somehow...but I couldn't tell you why. |
|
|
This man doesn't know it but we
secretly replaced his normal brand
of nasal spray with our new wasabi
nasal spray. Let's see his reaction. |
|
|
Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows wasabi is best enjoyed on tortilla chips in large globs, mistaken for guacamole. |
|
|
(The asian restaurant was asking for it, putting the chips that close to it.) |
|
|
I bet wasabi would dissolve well in "head and shoulders" shampoo.
"The burning means it's working!" |
|
|
Kind of like wart remover ... only it would be head remover ... no more sinuses ... no more sinus pain |
|
|
You people are real taste-bud wimps, aren't you? |
|
|
You're on! I can eat more wasabi
than you. |
|
|
I could use some right now ... methinks I have contracted plague. *sniffle* |
|
|
i would just hope its diluted somewhat
you ever eat just a small bit of it?
ouch. |
|
|
[UB] Great. Now you've spoiled it for them. |
