How Is Snake Oil Produced?

[egellings]

I found a dead rattlesnake in my back yard, so I cut it open to see if I could find a gland or something from which I could harvest the precious oil. No cigar. The snake ended up being a pretty lean animal. No fat or oil to be found on that one.

Snake oil comes from AudioQuest interconnects. Why do you think they are all named after snakes? Because their rca cables are SNAKE OIL.....figuratively and literally...

Snake oil is a walk in the park compared to trying to harvest moth balls....

And people here in Hong Kong keep telling me fish balls are difficult.

I once had a job collecting Bee's Knees for a sales company.
