Baporube

Anyone know where I can get this stuff? The locals say it is good for what ails you, from flu to fungus infections, they swear by it.
Please don't send me to Walmart, I boycotted that when Sam died,

Thanks

you have said it all! what more is there!

Jajaja.......so off to Walmart with ya. Or Pharmacia Guadalajara.

Best thread ever.

Don't forget chicken soup!

Yes, the Mexicans DO think this Baporube stuff is good for darned near EVERYTHING!! Insect bite, stomachache, arthritis, you name it... just slather on some Vick's Vap-o-rub. They absolutely swear by it. Got a good laugh out of this one.

I thought you all would get a chuckle. A woman from Morelia was telling me the wonders of this substance, and I couldn't figure out what it was, Only later se me prendió el foco (light turned on). They have it made in Mexico too!

My wife always called it "BEEEKS", but she is from Guatemala!
Put it on for bites,bruises,toenail fungus, even toothaches.
Walmart has "Equate" BEEKS, but I am afraid to try it. Yes, I went there with the wife!

Oh kosher style without a doubt, BUT caldo de pollo (El Serape has great caldo) is always good! I'm so glad everyone had a good laugh...I grew up in Spain and I remember well what we always called bic bapo ru there ..

Reminds of the time years ago when a friend here (Mexican) told me that the the best marca of chain saws was... oh-may-lee-tay.  I said....what??

then.... ...when light bulb went on.

Hey I am getting smarter in my old age, I only had to say it 3 times, the 3rd did the trick! Of course the 3rd time, I said it out loud!
