Scented Essential Oil Chalk

What do you think? Should I get some?

We don't ask questions like this in SLO county.

Essential oils are essentially worthless.

Picture, link!

I like them in candles. My Bro makes some good ones.

I don’t see a reason not to. Then again, why would you?

I disagree, but only for peppermint oil. Nausea and headaches = gone.

I experimented with making my own scented chalk in highschool using essential oils. The chalk did smell nice, but the peppermint and lavender combination we used ended up attracting bees and stinging your eyes. That didn't stop up from coming up with a company name and tagline though:

"Pep-Chalk, scented so you can send it" 

No No No HELL NO! Leaving essential oil residue on the rock would potentially provoke allergic sensitivities in some people. I and many other people have such sensitivity to scent and perfume ingredients and commonly have airway/respiratory reactions around them. Please do not do this.

But what about all the people's chacos, uh I mean chakras it lines up? I think you are being insensitive to their auras. 

Joshua Tree Herbal Chalk sells scented chalk. I like the "Ice" scent: amazon.com/Joshua-Tree-Herb… Its basically just menthol/mint scented. They claim it numbs your fingers to help you climb harder but I think that's almost definitely bullshit. I just like the way it smells lol

Better watch out for Clif bar residue, peanutbutter residue, etc on those cliffs then

If you dare waste your money on that crap, I'll feign anaphylaxis after I knock your chalkbag over next time we're at the gym together.... ;)

For sure! I know my chacos can use some essential oil chalk after wearing them for a week... Peeeeeeew!

Does no one else see the irony in using chalk and oil in the same sentence?

Nonessential oils you mean. 1/10

Please don’t!  I remember following a party up Frogland and the whole climb reeked of patchuoil oil. I had such a headache by the time we got to the top I couldn’t enjoy my summit beer.

I think it depends on which oils. Not all of them influence chacos, I'm sure you're aware

I know a few people who consider THC oil to be essential :)
