Can't afford a Hummer, now you can just smell like one instead!!
http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/27207.htm

August 20, 2004 -- he road-hogging, gas-guzzling Hummer — a bane to environmentalists everywhere — is about to assault your olfactory nerves.
The creators of the SUV are lending their name to an "eau de toilette" that melds the smell of thyme, fir, cardamom and sandalwood to create the Hummer Fragrance for Men.

At $52 a pop, the cologne is being marketed in a boxy, truck-like bottle by Riviera Concepts Inc., which is targeting 25- to 45-year-olds with a penchant for the ultra-masculine.




BTW, you can actually buy this stuff at Sephora Online

1. This is getting such horribly bad publicity that it's going to be a gag
gift, I hope.

I hope it rots on the shelves.

I'll remember to not be shopping at Sephora. Thanks for the heads up.

3. True.
But it'sll be 5 dollars at BigLots after Christmas, I bet.

4. So wanting to post something nasty...

Must. Fight. Satan.

Make it. Up to him. Later.
