Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly

They would have made a fortune on placing these in high school locker rooms.

What's funny is that you (and I) associate cologne with high school, but adult men were spraying that shit on themselves from like the 50s to the 90s. Then Axe Body Spray took over the youth market, and a lot of boys coming of age started reevaluating their life choices. Smoking in public also became rare, and generally people started smelling better without the need for fragrances.

I can't remember the last time I used cologne or smelled it on another person. But my laundry, shampoo, body wash, and beard balm all have their own fragrances.

I find it's very regional inside of the US. It depends on a few factors, but age, prominance, and locality to a "night-life" tends to be the primary ones I find. I live very rural in Southern US, and it's hit or miss if I ever smell a guy with cologne, but when I do it's the guy I know goes out a lot and lives in-town or much older.
