33. I remember the name, but not the scent
I don't think that was a big seller in Memphis in the 70's. ;)

6. Probably. It would have worked by causing the young lady to pass out
as you made your intimate approach. I like the smell but it's overpowering!

27. well if not shit
then certainly like BO, really it smells like BO to me. I think it is some marketer's joke.

"Hey lets make a cologne that smells like BO and see if we can get everybody to wear it."

8. I don't think any of the young men I knew wore the stuff...
But then, I went to high school in ancient times, so maybe it hadn't been invented yet...

:P

10. Wrong Axe, dude.
Guitars were the ticket. Now, THAT would have been the right kind of ax to have had in high school.

:P

Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 10:56 AM by Blue_Tires
over-the-top commercials ever made...Youtube is filled with hours of them

some of my favorites: I've been planning to post a list in the lounge of my top 20 AXE/TAG commercials, but for now here are 3 candidates...

The "Trial":

The "German Infomercial":

The infamous "Chocolate Man"

18. Hai Karate -- Gaahh!
The stuff smelled like the Avon Lady's worst products mixed with patchouli oil, gin, insect repellent, and a touch of kerosene, with a faint overtone of rotting fruit.

It was not at all helpful in getting a guy laid. But I'm sure a lot of guys who doused themselves in the stuff and then put on their pastel leisure suits and paisley nylon shirts with collars like sails couldn't figure out why they weren't being surrounded by lust-crazed women.

21. I love Axe...
A car prowler left that telling "scent" lingering behind and I caught the suspect 15 minutes later, identified him by the unique Axe skank.

Made my day, ruined his!

22. At least your parents gave you something.
My parents didn't teach me about shaving, deoderant or cologne.

Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 09:00 PM by Tabasco_Dave
and they wear too much of it. I had to drive them home from a party one night, the aftershave fumes where so strong that i had to open the car windows in the middle of winter.

28. is it a midwest thing?
Relatives in the midwest send an AXE collection every year at Christmas to one of the teenagers in my household. Every year, he gives it to charity. It is HORRIBLE STUFF. Shudder!
