    You must know that 'jetlag' is used here as an euphemism for 'vampires'. The communists in eastern Europe would never have admitted that vampires exist, so garlic had to be useful against something that demonstrates progress and socialistic achievement.

      Shows how scientific **YOU** are ! Turn on the logical reasoning section of your brain. Think back a hundred and fifty years or more. People were doing garlic and ginger. Now think of our modern day lifestyle and habits, which have removed nearly all vestiges of garlic and ginger. Okay scientist, here's your question: Was jet lag more prevalent then, or now ?

        We are still folk and we can still brew our own remedy - even Student's Coffee (coffee brewed with coffee replacing water) can be regarded as folk's remedy despite Universities as we know them being relatively recent.

            I'm guessing you've never had a Chinese/Thai takeaway? :laugh:

            Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

              Garlic in mine too... ginger is better in the fridge ;P

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                To be honest, it doesn't really last long enough to go off, or even noticeably soft ... I like ginger, and use it in Indian, Indonesian, and Chinese food so storage isn't really a problem! :laugh:

                  In my opinion, Mary Ann is more effective than Ginger. :badger:

                    Definitely more prevalent then. Absolutely. Otherwise, why would they have thought up the remedy for jet-lag?

                      Did they have jets a hundred and fifty years ago!?! :omg: Wow, where have I been? :confused:

                      When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
