I've searched darn nearly every pharmacy (Walgreens,CVS Rite-Aid, even the Stater Bros. pharmacies) in town and no luck. Every time I ask for Menthol Crystals I get uhmm..blank stares like I am asking for something belonging in another dimension.

Can get half a pound of the stuff from Amazon for about $25, shipped.

I'm curious - what do you need menthol crystals for, if you don't mind me asking?

You can also get them on ebay believe it or not.

Just a heads up when you do get some the measurement to use is between 5%-10% menthol crystals. I used about 10% and it is ALMOST too much plus if its not strong enough its easy to add more. If your adding it to AB/AS it will dissolve without heat if not just put the crystals in the bottle and put it in a sink full on hot water this is enough to dissolve the crystals. Oh yeah they did make the AS I used a milky color if that matters to you not so much for me. A tblspoon is about 15ml crushed, a ml is roughly a gram, there are 28 grams in an oz. I put less than a full tblspoon in a 125ml bottle and like I said its close to makin me cry when I use it but damn it feels good. :thumbup1:

I got some from a local pharmacy in the UK. Had to try a couple first though.

Its also best to ask for "Menthol Crystals" rather than than "Crystal menthol" though otherwise you get a VERY funny reaction :blushing:

I see what you did there, very funny :001_rolle:lol:

In other news, I see you're from Reading! what's the chances of that on a primarily USA forum?
