The days of teenage boys and young men finishing a workout and walking out the door only to attract flies are long gone! Deodorant and body sprays are the latest "in" thing...No doubt influenced by some of the television shows that air these days. All I want to know is, what's up with the names? I'll start with the deodorant called "Mitchum." I see the commercial and immediately think of the late actor, Robert Mitchum. Exactly! He's dead. Do you want to smell like a dead guy? How about "Axe?" The commercials show nerdy guys with hot looking women crawling all over them in public places. I have some and I'm still waiting for the doorbell to ring. Sorry, when I think "Axe" I think of Jason chasing after me in the woods, not some supermodel. It's also cool to wear what your Granddad wore. The stuff in the white bottle...Old Spice, although they finally updated the formula to 2005 standards and it even comes in fancy red packaging now. I use this product as well however, in the shower. It smells nice and lathers up real good, but there's so many choices...just how in the heck do they come up with these things? What exactly is "Mountain Sport" or "Summer Breeze" and where in the U.S. do they do the testing? "Summer Breeze" to me is having the windows open and smelling exhaust fumes blowing off of I-80. If some of these companies want to do good, they'd leave the men's deodorants to the beer industry. What guy wants to smell like an "April Shower" or "Midnight Fog" when you can slap on some Bud Light under the pits? Now THAT'S a man thing, and this is sounding too much like Andy Rooney or a Seinfeld monologue. You get the point, and THAT'S the way I see it!
