Feel the Burn - Atomic Balm
When I ran cross country in high school in the late ‘70’s, we used to use an sticky, orange subtance known as Atomic Balm to help warm up our muscles before races, especially on cold days.
Atomic Balm worked well, but it had a few drawbacks. You couldn’t get it off your hands or your legs for days and if any of it accidently got on your more sensitive areas, you ran screaming for the showers.
I checked recently and apparently they still make it. Rumor has it that it’s not the same formula that they used in the old days, but it’s still pretty hot.
Has anyone used Atomic Balm recently? How does it compare to the old formula? Tell me in the comments.
