Somehow I just cannot say Old Spice and leave it at it... the words will automatically be followed by the humming of the music from the Old Spice Ad with mental images of a raging sea, a fearless surfer, an alluring woman and the ultimate tag line "Old Spice, the Mark of a Man" ringing in my head. Before I go any further, let me clarify that I may be a witch at times but I don't need to shave and my orientations are all in the right direction... but I love this ad :-)
Recently this phenomenon happened again. I spied the Old Spice bottle left unguarded by my brother and in a moment of insanity I found myself reaching for the bottle and splashing out a few drops on my hands like the model in the advertisement. Though I instantly repented it as the liquid hit a paper cut I had on my finger, all the while humming the Old Spice Tune.
My sister was in the room and she inquired where the perfume smell was coming from, sheepishly I told her that I had handled the Old Spice bottle and she goes "Oh that's why the accompanying music!"
For all my readers who were not born when the said Ad used to be aired, please see the link...Old Spice video.
Oh! I have a very old association with Old Spice, I always loved that smell and I've been using it ever since my childhood and even when I couldn't grow any facial hair. And I remember, once I'd swallowed it accidentally and when later I read on the bottle "Harmful if taken internally", it literally scared the living daylights out of me. Well I lived that day and since then Old Spice has always stayed with me. Now I not only use it as an after-shave but also as a deo (i know that sounds weird).
