We shan’t notice that we’ve had complaints about ‘feminine hygiene’ product commercials but no mention of all the commercials, aired in the same era, for ‘jock itch’ remedies.
It would be much easier to put out a can that ostensibly covers up a bad odor but actually makes a worse odor. I used to see such things in the Johnson Smith catalog.
No, no, the whole point of the thing is that someone attempting to use a spray to mask an odour they’ve created instead announces their action with a hugely loud air horn!
Yeah, I know – you want this sort of thing. I’m just saying that there are other ways you can get people to announce their action, like chasing them out of the bathroom by creating an odor worse than the one the one they’re trying to cover up.
I understand the humor element (and would likely laugh myself), but I’m not convinced that you want to discourage people from spritzing some deodorant if they’ve dropped a load.
When I shower, I user a body wash for my entire body. i can’t imagine suddenly searching for different products for various parts of my body. That strikes me as ridiculous and a little weird.
Fascinating. And leave to our keen-eyed ad man to see the details.
I find it interesting that the blue = masculine color was chosen (no doubt after careful thought and/or focus group work) to represent comfortable softness, and red = semi-feminine color was chosen to represent rugged robustness.
Disclaimer: I worked at a personal-care products company for seven years; while I primarily worked on anti-perspirants, I also worked on haircare products for several years.
Chemically, most shampoos are actually detergents, which are different (chemically) from a soap. One big difference is that soaps tend to leave films (“soap scum”) behind, especially when used in hard water.
Those of us of a certain age may recall ads for Zest, in which they said, “Zest isn’t soap” (even though it looked just like a bar soap) – that’s because Zest was a detergent, in solid/bar form.
