The Bizarre Story of Vaseline: How One Chemist's Crazy Experiments Changed Skin Care Forever! : 132

Join hosts John and Mike D on Take On The World Podcast as we dive into the wild tale of Robert Chesebrough, the eccentric New York chemist who transformed a greasy oil field byproduct into a global skincare phenomenon. From burning and cutting himself on stage to prove Vaseline's healing properties to consuming a spoonful daily, Chesebrough's incredible journey from Titusville's oil fields in 1859 to creating a product found in medicine cabinets worldwide is a testament to American innovation, scientific curiosity, and unbreakable entrepreneurial spirit.
