I want to know how they make it. Or, on second thought, maybe I don't.

Maybe it's like "baby oil."

But, really, how often do you need to oil your emus?

Er. Hmm. Whenever they start squeaking a lot?

If they're yellow, green or blue, though, they're actually chocobos and all bets are off.

EMU OIL?

I... what do you use that for?

[identity profile] frostedelves.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's for when you need to lubricate your squeaky or rusty emu!

What, you didn't click the link? I'm disappointed.

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I did click the link!

It told me I could trust Australian emu oil and had a photograph of part of Australia and a photograph of an emu! And a bunch of products that utilize 100% Pure Emu Oil! Which I can get, let me inform you, in a 55-gallon container for only $3850 each.

Well, if there's one thing that I need in my life, it's a 55-gallon container of emu oil. Let me tell you.

What were some of the products? O_o [Do I want to know?]

Gosh, think I could organize a decant circle?

Cutting-and-pasting from the webpage, making sure to preserve the color highlighting:

Nutritional Supplements - includes White Emu Pure Emu Oil gelcaps (with Vitamin E), Organic Vegetable capsules, Vitamin & Mineral Liquid, and MSM joint Health Supplements.

Emu Oil-based Soothing Cream Products - includes the world-famous Super Blue Stuff Quick Soothing Lotion (12-packs and 1,500-pack sample cases), White Emu Quick Soothing Lotion and Foot & Leg Comfort products.

and

Products made with Pure Emu Oil - includes Smooth-N-Slender firming gel and loofa scrub, Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hand Cream - all fortified with Pure Emu Oil. Many products available in single quantities and 12-pack wholesale quantities!

The nutritional supplements seem to give "energy" and nothing else more concrete, which is technically correct in that fats are a source of quick energy, but probably not in the sense they want us to believe. :)

Egh. Those are all kind of horrifying prospects. 'Cause, I mean...if those are all the products with emu oil in them, then what would you do with a tub of raw oil? Other than "make stuff," my mind can only supply really perverted thoughts, so I'll stop there. ^_^;

It may appeal to certain specialized tastes which I really don't want to consider...

Okay, my curiosity got the better of me. I had to know where Emu Oil came from. My extensive research of the intertubes has divulged that emu oil is not really oil at all, but low-viscosity emu grease. Fat from slaughtered emu is melted & filtered and packaged - then you slap it on your face.

And a 55-gallon drum of it is only $3850. WHAT A BARGAIN.

[identity profile] dragovianknight.livejournal.com 2006-10-13 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Emu oil is an excellent carrier for essential oils; I can see why it's there.

And just in case someone you know starts using Emu Oil....

SnifferStick! Because no one wants to walk into a room of Emu Funk.


My Albedo icon disturbingly gets a lot of usage.

The ads I get from my RP journals are all kinds of special.
