My antiperspirant

I wear cologne. It's a domestic product that goes by the name Speed Stick 24-Hour Protection Antiperspirant. Cool Fusion scent.

I ran across this Boon From Heaven™ in High School after a lifetime of transient relationships with different deoderants. Sure they would do the job, but there was always something wrong. Too musky. Wouldn't last long enough. Poor taste when grated onto spaghetti. There was always somthing, and so my eye would wander.

One day when I least expected it (as is usually the case) I came across this new (read: New!) stick in Walgreens. It's scent was unlike anything that I have ever experienced. Distinct, yet not overpowering. It did indeed smell as how I had always dreamed cold fusion would smell like. It was something you could bring home to the family, and so I did.

And we've been together ever since.

On distinct and numerous enclosed-space occurances, I've been the subject of a "what smells so good?" uttered by another person (usually female). Never have I encountered an antiperspirant that actually strokes my ego, and therefore Mennen has a lifetime customer.

And they lived happily ever after

oh yes. I remember the days when I used to sniff near your armpits to get a high from that heavenly scent.

Lol @ Kristen. My jealousy grows by leaps and bounds!

So what shall you do when they *gasp* discontinue that scent? Better stock up now...

Lol... Kalani's comment reminds me of the Sponge episode on Seinfeld... You'd have to determine who was deodorant worthy... :D

I once again started my day out right with your always-clever musings.

P.S. Tickle tickle

they discontinued my scent once... bastards. I have no idea what it is Freckles wears... but i love it. It is like cologne, it gives him this manish yet nice scent.... in fact a lot of men's armpit armor have that now... maybe someone finally got a clue.
