10. I had a terrible dandruff problem when I was a kid. Coal tar shampoo cleared it right up.

My teacher called my Mom because I was scratching my head so much in class and leaving a dandruff pile on my desk.

Mom tried several name brand dandruff shampoos, but they didn't help.

Then she used coal tar and I had immediate relief.

I still keep a bottle on hand.
