From the "I Never Thought I'd Hear This" file...
...an unsolicited testimonial for "Head On". :crazy:

(Don't start, ZombyWoof :grr: )

The guy I carpool with had a debilitating headache during our drive in to work yesterday. When we left at the end of the day, I asked how his head was feeling and he said that some co-worker lent him the tube of Head On, which the co-worker said he got as a gag gift from his daughter.

My colleague swears it worked in a couple of minutes. headache never returned. And this guy never, I mean NEVER, lies.

Go figure.

I'd still like to firebomb their ad agency, however.

2. I guess I just don't get the delivery mechanism...
Topical application for an internal problem seems goofy.

3. Total speculation...
In the upper nose and eye socket area there is a blood vessel which shares a pathway with a nerve.
This has been the target area for most migraine research over the years.

It's a classic tension headache. Which are excruciating, but, are also the most common type of
headache.

I'm guessing somehow 'HeadOn' relaxes the muscles and reduces the pressure on these nerves.

If they've found a way to reduce these headaches without internal medication... Which can cause
problems elsewhere. I think it's pretty cool. Someone has invented a better mouse trap, so to speak.
