Vicks vaporub for stretch marks?!

My fellow teacher (who is 30 weeks pregnant) was telling me today that she just got her first stretch marks. A student chimed in, "My mom used vicks vaporub every day and her stretch marks were pretty much gone within like a year..."

I was all like "Wut, wut?"

I thought that was interesting. RANDOM-- but interesting. I've had Vicks as a medicine cabinet staple for years but I would never think to use it for scars or stretch marks.

Have any of you ladies had luck with Vicks and your stretchies?
