Is there really such thing as snake oil?

Answer:
Probably yes. Here in the Philippines, people sell it and used as a talisman or some sort of spiritual immunity.

Typically, in the US it is used as a reference to the traveling salesmen of the 19th century and early 20th century who bottled pretty much anything to sell as a cure-all for everything from the common cold to cancer.
