I have found that olive oil also works great for removing scuff marks and paint from delicate plastics, such as furniture, fittings and automotive interiors, where other things are too strong and ruin things (like paint thinners/solvents) or too weak to do anything.

I'm a little apprehensive about drinking straight olive oil, but it's good to know there's a cure for those annoying throat-ticklies. I get those pretty often when I go to sleep.

I am also excited to see the olive oil for door squeaks! I had no idea it was okay to use cooking oils to lube up door hinges. I thought, when I sprayed Pam on my door hinges, that they'd grow mold or something terrible. I did it anyway (the noise was driving me crazy and was waking up my roomies when I got up early), and it worked fine. Olive oil's a bit cheaper than Pam, so I'll probably buy a bottle of cheap olive oil the next time I'm at the store.

Bulletproof is correct. No oils with latex and no oils for women. It should be stipulated that it was probably meant for personal male stim.

My sister is an Esthetician and uses olive oil in all her facials.  I use it as body oil and some friends use it as a massage oil.

RE #20, wouldn't suggest using it with a condom. Oil weakens latex. Also sounds like a great way to get a nasty infection.

My stepmom always used it to wash her face.  She just put a bit on a cotton ball and washed away, makeup too, as you say.  But she liked it best for eyebrow management.

Lice need traction to climb on a strand of hair. A strand of hair has its own natural texture, therefor it act like a ladder for the lice to climb on. Putting olive oil on your hair makes the shaft slick and the lice have no traction to climb on, plus as an add effect the olive oil stick to the louse and suffocates it, but you still need to pick for nits because they are already stuck to the shaft of the hair.

That's really quite awesome. I'm skeptical about it as a lice remover since I don't see how that would actually kill lice. It does work for an earache (like any oil), because it's a lubricant.
