- hugh3 16y agoOver-the-top pretentious pseudo-cool! Which means they wrap right around back to cool.
- maqr 16y agoYes. Everyone knows 'cool' follows pacman rules.

- enjo 16y agoI love them, mainly because they're a really fun parody of the ridiculousness that their competitors often run (I'm looking at you Axe). They built a character that all at once oozes likability while at the same time pointing out just how stupid the whole idea that using a body-wash will get you laid is.
- tomjen3 16y agoYou would think so, but I did actually try it, partially to see if I would get me the attentions of girls. But I did wait till it was on sale...
- joezydeco 16y agoIt may have been a stupid idea, but Axe got hundreds of thousands of prepubescent teenagers using deodorant...their deodorant. And men tend to stick with a brand once they are comfortable with it.
