When I was in college I knew a guy who was going for EMT and he brought a smelling salt into the dorm. My roommates and I took a turn sniffing it. Woof. Pure ammonia: Makes your nose hairs curl.
@@redbunn2282 it’s kinda like a really chemical like smell, almost like nail polish remover. Except it like kinda feels like fire if you smell too much, but it gets your eyes watering and your nose feels odd
I don’t know why but when I smelled those years back it always burned the nose obviously, but it also felt like something hit me in the back of the brain. Don’t know if anyone else has the same weird feeling.
I did it for the first time yesterday and I know exactly what you mean. Honestly though, the amount it cleared my sinuses makes me want to get some more.
one time i saw a hockey player scoop some kind of Anabolic called Creatine i think it was directly into his drink and just drank it in front of everyone I couldn't believe it
Amyl nitrite "popper" is what gives you energy, completely different chemical! I cant believe a company has convinced people to use ammonia in place of it.
@@teebear3036 could have fooled me with your first comment. Poppers and smelling salts have nothing to do with each other. Just cause you only know about grimy inhalants doesn’t mean some company is tricking nhl players into using ammonia instead of nasty shit you buy from adult bookstores.
2:29 is my coach in high school he would have these ready in his pocket like 40 of them we would say coach SALT he would break it and would hold it for us lmao
Im at my doctors office and he has these laying around. Just took one after googling what they are and now after watching this video im shaking with anticipation to try them 🤭🤫
I drive for Lyft/Uber and a passenger dropped 4 tiny bags. Who sells these and what are they called? What’s in them? What is the purpose of them? Thanks in advance for responses.
@carlos anaya these are called "Smelling Salts." They are legal, and come in these small packets or in a jar. I'm not sure their intended purpose, but athletes use them to help their performance. The main chemical inside is ammonia (which smells like pee). When you smell it it causes a burning reaction in your nose and lungs, which causes you to take deeper breaths which sends more oxygen to your brian. It is also used to wake someone up if they passed out.
i went to a san jose barracuda game against the heat back in 2019, i was right next to the heat bench. one of the players slid some of the salt under the glass for me to try and holy hell that salt is no joke
I was explaining how I tried it one time and couldn’t believe how it felt last night at dinner, then I told my daughters boyfriend that it’s very common in hockey, so I just sent him this video
greenyawgmoth i believe its because it helps with performance by triggering the fight/flight response of your body which makes you faster, stronger, etc.
Krystal Originally Answered: Why do hockey players use smelling salts? ... The purpose of smelling salts is to restore or stabilize respiratory action as the ammonia irritates the nasal areas and lungs and forces an inhalation response. Better breathing can stimulate alertness (more oxygen to the brain). Quora › Why-are-smelling-salts-use...
Ammonia Smelling Salts. They arouse consciousness, open airways, and increase alertness. For me, my body got used to them and the effect wasn't as strong, but if you stop for a while and start again, it'll regain it's strength.
@@MissMilly321 just banned in boxing. But they are used in the NFL. There's a clip of Larry Fitzgerald putting it in front of on air reporter Pam Oliver, she didn't want to smell it though lol.
I had to google what they are. I figure if I'm correct they smell like ammonia. Soooo get a few unfixed male cats to piss in a litter box and leave it. I figure that what they smell like 😆
