Just a little stall, with wrapped 'rocks', and a TV with videocassette playing...kind of like an info-commercial.

What to buy: They sold these 'rocks' to be used in place of deodorant. They are actually chunks of potassium crystal, which is natures natural anti-bacteria agent.

I had just read something about these rocks on the net, so they caught my eye. Normally I would have walked right by.

All you do is moisten the rock, and rub the damp surface in places you wish to be fresh and sweet.

IT WORKS....I couldn't believe it. I am so looking forward to proving it to all my friends.

What to pay: 5 Euro, for a chunk of rock. Remember, it really, really WORKS.

July 11/2005 - Have been using daily since my purchase, and am amazed at how well this 'ROCK' works. I am as fresh as a spring rain!!!

Address: Via Roma...street vendor
Directions: just a street vendor along Via Roma, just west of Piazza Bra. Possibly 30 seconds from Corso Porta Nuova. I searched the bag for a sales receipt for a name, but I didn't seem to have one ??
Theme: Bath and Beauty

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
