Thread: Old Spice "Classic" No Longer Available in Australia

Once had the 'good fortune' to be home when the truck came to pump out the septic tank at home. I heard the truck pull up outside and smelt the diesel exhaust when I opened the door to meet and greet and point out where the tank was. I was then overwhelmed by a combined vapor cloud of old spice mixed with Brut 33. He explained on asking, that he had drenched his work overalls collar in old spice and his hat and gloves in brut 33 to over-smell the stink of the open tank and pump-out operation.

This is about the only justifiable reason I can think of for using either in the combined attack on the olfactory senses.

I met him years after when he was involved with an ultralight mob.

Pretty sure he did. We had a Blue Stratos hang glider in the warehouse.

the advertising budget for old spice, blue stratos and not to forget brut33 must've been pretty good.

it wouldn't cost much to make... is it methyl ethyl alcahol...which is cheap , plus some smelly esters?

No wonder we call you chaps up there soap dodgers.
I suppose you have that option when it never gets over 22 celsius.

Spend a week in Darwin with 44 and 90% humidity. The swamp-arse will have you change your mind pretty quick.

TA, you don't know the difference between a Bog Trotter and a Pom? Shame on you.

I used to "Need Uncle Sam" but when that went the way of the Dodo I moved to Old Spice.
Then about 15 years ago, after using it since she had meet me, SWMBO told me she didn't really like the small of it.
So, my life shattered, I said she could pick my bloody deodorant then!
So now I use Mum.
How the mighty have fallen.

A Mum wearing Prado driver, oh the shame of it all!
