Well, I bet you didn’t see this use of Viagra coming your way. Did you know that Viagra keeps flowers from wilting and makes them stand up straight? This has to be one of the true romance drugs, or maybe it just has a propensity to harden things up. We’ll get to how Viagra keeps flowers from wilting in a moment. In the meantime you can continue reading, or use the time beforehand to regain your composure.
Since its introduction in 1998, Viagra has become one of the most recognizable drugs on the world market. For those of you that don’t know, Viagra is the drug that solved an age old problem for men. Impotence. Before its introduction men had to rely on either old wives tales such as eating oysters, or for radical surgical intervention where a device is surgically inserted into the wiener with a pump that is inflated with liquid, which causes an erection. Clearly a better option was needed, and Viagra filled that void.
But impotence isn’t the only problem Viagra solves. It can also treat Pulmonary hypertension and altitude sickness. Some athletes have also been witnessed using the drug in the belief that it opens the blood vessels and enriches the muscles, leading to better performance on the field. But of all its uses, using Viagra to make flowers erect has to be the oddest. So how does it work?
Researchers in Australia and Israel discovered that by placing 1 mg of Viagra dissolved in a vase of water it not only extends the shelf life of cut flowers, but also makes them stand up straight for up to a week longer than they would without it. It works by slowing down the breakdown of an enzyme. It also helps slow down the ripening process of other plants such as strawberries, legumes and other perishables.
So if you find that you have a lot of expired wonder bedroom drugs in your medicine closet, make use of them with your flowers.
