3). It's a great lube for many things. Say if a dog's paw or head was stuck...like between a railing or something...you could slather it up with vaseline to help it slide out. Many people would use butter in such a situation, but vaseline is easier to transport in the heat/cold extremes of a car. Variable car temperature is also the reason I have things like benadryl pills in the car instead of the liquid. I do have liquid at home though.
Love it!
