Social media response to new Old Spice fragrance (apparently a Walmart exclusive)

I've heard many a guitar solo that stank bad (most of which were mine :rolleyes:), so calling a deodorant scent 'Guitar Solo' ain't a great idea.

Old Spice also have deodorants  in 'Krakengard', 'Volcano', and 'Dragonblast' scents...whatever the copywriters are smoking on Madison Avenue, maybe they should be selling that instead.  :P :lol:

Speaking of men's toiletries, are they gonna 'reissue' Hai Karate aftershave, too?  I hope they use the UK versions of the old commercials: ;)

Thanks for the time warp commercial. I always thought Hai Karate smelled like a too-sweet version of Jade East....the Hai Karate commercials are dated but still fun (for me) as a bit of nostalgia. This thread could go out on a tangent RE favorite colognes when coming up age....for me it was Old Spice Lime, English Leather, and Imperial Saber....and maybe some others that I'll remember later.

Nowadays it's Mennen Skin Bracer or Drakkar Noir 'coz the Missus likes those.  Polo made her sneeze but I was 28 when that came out in 1978, and didn't meet her until 1984 anyway. I'll bet the big anecdotes about colognes are usually part of high school and college memories.

I preferred English Spandex - made you smell like a English kid playing in a new wave of British heavy metal band who drinks too much Gin and Beer .

Made me think of a young-ish woman I once worked with. Loved Hai Karate so much that SHE wore it.  I guess I could describe her charitably as a "blowsy blonde."

I think it fair to say she had a screw loose. She worked for a while on the night shift (11-7) with a guy whose real name was Robert E Lee.....Skinny little guy with mirrored sunglasses. She thought he was the greatest thing, though he was half her size. He did not reciprocate. One evening, he dropped his pants, sat on the Xerox and made multiple copies of his ass  for her. The next morning, she proudly showed them off to the day shift as they came in......."Look what Bobbie made for me! Great art, but I am not sure what it is". With the scent of Hai Karate hanging in the air.......

I wonder what ever happened to Lynn......
