Every sunday I like to cover myself in vaseline and pretend I'm a slug, but i go through like 5 cans every sunday. What's the best place to buy cheap, slippery vaseline?

There are many places to buy vaseline. Walgreens, walmart, cvs, rite aid...the cheapest place I've found is to be walmart. 

Hope this helps! 
Have fun being a slug :P <a href="https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130207202500AAtdrdh">Yahoo Answers</a>

Ok if you're going to be judging > Proceed to click off this question. 

Ever since I was born I have been facinated by slugs. It turned into a fetish of mine. I'm not obsessed with these fascinating creatures. They are so sexy..Lately slugs turn me on. So I decided, why not be sexy like them? I want to become a slug. My twin sister thinks i'm crazy and she said she's worried about me but IMA BE FINE :D 
So should I use vaseline of bengay and cover myself with it and crawl around the floor saying "slug,slug,slug,slug" ?? 
I still need to get over the horrible fear of having salt poured on my back and dying a horrible death. 

SO BENGAY OR VASELINE? 

#GetchaSlugOn

 Best Answer:  Probably vaseline...b/c Bengay burns when applied. You should also add some baby oil, for more of an effect of a slug! 

Good luck
