50) Halloween treats. My wife was out of town on Halloween. I guess she's the one who's on the ball with that stuff because I didn't even think about getting any candy to hand out. The door bell rang, and it suddenly hit me that it was the 31st (and not the 30th). I left 3 kids at the door while I quickly ransacked the house for nonexistent candy, but no such luck. I saw the box of samples, so I grabbed a couple and threw them into their trick-or-treat bags. Unfortunately the kids were a little disappointed it wasn't candy. But I'm sure their mother thought it was the best treat of the night.
51) Helped get Halloween paint off my kids’ faces.

I am sure I must be the first AVATAR/Neytiri to ever to use Aquaphor products!! Plus it was a fun way to promote Aquaphor when I put on the hat--many people asked me about Aquaphor and I said it was AVATAR APPROVED!

84) I use it on my fingertips to thread the sewing machine needle
85) A great way to travel, train and race with Aquaphor is, once at your destination; squeeze Aquaphor into the snack-size, or half-size, zip-lock baggies. These are easy to carry and use as you do not need to fiddle with the screw-on lid. When ready, grab the baggie, on the outside, and turn it inside out over your hand. Then, rub the baggie with the Aquaphor on it liberally where needed. Turn the baggie back inside in and, voila, no mess, nothing on your hands and you are off. I did this at one particular race and about 7 girls loved this idea after seeing me do it.
