Well then, it can’t be real snake oil, can it?

Vegan snake oil? Now that be fangtastic.

There’s no such thing as “100 perecent vegan snake oil”. Snakes are obligate carnivores-they have to have meat to survive.;-D

I was always curious about the process of retrieving oil from snakes

Can’t be good for the snakes

Is snake oil, oil that’s made from snakes? Or is it oil intended to lubricate snakes??

I’m probably not the only one to do some superficial instant Internet “research” on this, but I found this to be interesting.

Maybe “vegan snake oil” comes from vines. :)

Be careful with what you do with that banana peel Horace…!

Oi’ll can’t say: is it snake or is this fake?

bizarre snake

Watch out, Horace?…for where you throw that banana peel…

Of course, the whole “vegan” concept has it’s parallels with “snake oil” selling in of itself, so I suppose it was only natural to try and combine the two. :P

If cheese whiz is selling it, there’ll be buyers

One of the many uses of snake oil is as an antihissssstamine.

His brand is for oiling snakes for which only the best will do. Nobody wants a squeaky snake,.

He must be Jason.

Real snake oil can actually be helpful.

Best light bulb joke I’ve heard: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a light bulb? None: “You kids go on out and have a good time. I’ll be fine sitting here in the dark.”
