I've seen this (snake-oil) word thrown around so often, and I can't get the gist of it or what it's really mean and represent. Who are the snake-oil sales men and why are they accused of selling the damn thing?
Just when you thought you know everything! Well....shit hit the fan.

The use of "snake-oil" has long historical benefits and usages.
The known uses by United States travelling salesmen have distorted the proper use of "snake-oil" as a remedy.
Wellear nah Bannas. Long ago Americans used to travel all over the Country selling a brownish Liquid to People as Medicine, wonder healing ointment and any and Everything. The same content was being sold for EVERY illness and whatever there was. Yuh Stupidee, Stupidee ah Snakeoil yuh gun get.
NOW, 2012, Ramjattan, Moses, Warrior, TK Etal has gone " Back to the future Style" or MIB 3 style and came back as oldtime Americans. Any further explanations, Main Hoon Naah!!!!
It's more like AFC is reinventing the quack-oil as a remedy to fool the people. And the same false remedy them so-called AFC supporters drank as Guinea pigs and making them grunting sound around here. (?)

I used a British or Indian made oil name Mohini hair oil. It was sweet smelling and keep your hair neat and nice. That's nothing like this snake-voodoo them funny fellas selling. 
Mohini hair oil is an excellent product used for ages.
I forget where it was made. Was it England or India?
There was a girl named Mohini in school and her hair oil was perfect.
