Thread: Found Another Great Use For Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

This past weekend, I found another great use for Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum! My family and I had brought home our Christmas Tree from the tree lot. After I got it into the stand and strung the lights my hands were covered in sap. Usually, I would just wash my hands and then pour rubbing alcohol over them to remove the sap. As I was washing my hands, I realized that Virgin Island Bay Rum is nothing more than alcohol, coloring and scent. So I grabbed the Bay Rum and poured a bunch in my hands. It took care of the pine sap withour a problem and my hands smelled great. The wife loved my quick thinking.

Don't let the Pinaud lovers hear you say that........

Boo! Boo!

I understand it also makes a great degreaser for car engines.

If I only had one A/S it would be Pinuad Bay Rum. There are others that are probably better but it is cheap and does the job.

Don't try this at home, from the Wiki ......"This Rexall bay rum from the Prohibition era in the United States was labeled "for external use only," but with 58% grain alcohol it was often used as a legal means to obtain alcohol for drinking." When I was a kid I heard from old alkys that they used to drink bay rum back in the day.

It would probably taste better than rubbing alcohol if you asked Kitty Dukakis.

That stuff is a great charcoal starter! Makes the whole neighborhood smell!

Actually, Pinaud Bay Rum is one of my favorite A/S and is part of my regular rotation. I've been using it for years and my wife loves the scent.

Your comment about the old alkys drinking bay rum reminded me of a story my current barber told me a while ago. Back when he was in barber school, he and the other students would shave homeless men once a month for free. Some of them would actually grab the bottle of what he called toillet water out of his hands and squirt it down their throats.

Officer: Sir have you been drinking?
Sir: No it's my A/S Bay Rum..... you want some?
