What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

Tiger Balm! I never imagined I would see an online ad for such an old-fashioned product. I have a couple jars at home, but I hardly ever use the stuff because it stinks to high heaven.

Also ads for Hawaiian coffee, distance learning, and adoption services for pregnant young ladies.

In the 70s, our 'big three' go-to products around the house were Absorbine horse liniment (never mind the 'Junior' which was inferior), Unguentine, and Thuja Ointment. That last was petroleum jelly-based red salve with oil of thuja....not the same as the wart cream of today....and it always took very good care of my scuffs and scrapes.

These are identical to the containers that we had. Curiously, I can not find an image of a vintage jar of Thuja Ointment anywhere on the internet, including ebay....it's as if it has completely disappeared.

Dates with Asian women. As an Asian-American, I find such commodification to be rather disagreeable.

If anyone is wanting to get hold of some government furniture I know how to hook you up! I wonder if I can get hold of Bill Clinton's secret hot tub. You know he must have had one installed in their!

Business equipment. And something called DateMyAge, "find your mature man". Just the thing for this 33 years old heterosexual guy. Well, at least they know I'm single.
 
Now I'm getting a text-only ad with a url that looks like an office furniture store, but promising an extremely high level of sexual ability. :wtf:

Mental health treatment at a hospital which is located almost 900 miles away from me, and has a bunch of mediocre to lousy reviews online.

Latin Singles, Microsoft Azure, Pipe cleaning or alternatively a job where I can work at home and earn £587 a day. Not sure where any of that is coming from.
