What's with this Axe crap?

[rug]

My son went to his first HS dance and had to buy this.



And what kind of smell is "Clix"?

[Chan790]

1. It's overpoweringly-scented deodorant spray...

frat boys, HS boys and people who want to smell like they rolled around in shitty cologne samples just love this stuff.

My roommate loves Axe. Clix is actually one of the less-olfactory-offensive scents...it's kind of sandalwoody and lemony.

[rug]

2. Thanks for the info.

When I took him to buy the stuff there were shelves and shelves of it.

[datasuspect]

3. it causes teenage pregnancy

[rug]

4. You didn't see the shirt he bought.

[datasuspect]

5. disco shirts got me in a lot of trouble when i was young

[rug]

6. You sure it wasn't the Hai Karate?

[pokerfan]

7. Click or Clix

This variant is portrayed as making men so attractive to women they will need a clicker to keep score of the number of women who check them out.

25. i received clix in my stocking from santa claus last xmas.

I changed to phoenix later on and that is what i am using now that my tom's of maine woodspice ran out.

8. It's Brute for youngsters.

[rug]

10. I remember that. So macho it didn't need the silent e.

[jonnyblitz]

27. i guess my sister wasn't thinking when she purchased some

for a geezer like me.

[MrsBrady]

12. it's called "marketing" nt

[pokerfan]

13. Hai Karate: Be careful how you use it

Why, because it's a date rape drug?

Love the voice-over :)

[Capn Sunshine]

15. Reminds me of Jr. High

I had a bottle of Hai Karate in my gym locker. Cause I wanted that girls all over me phenomena.

Oh yeah, and the alt version, Jade East.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

16. It's marketed to dumb, younger guys

claiming if you wear it you'll have women falling all over you and it costs about twice as much. I don't even want to ponder what subliminal message they are sending with the world Clix.

*Not saying your kid is dumb

[Orsino]

19. In other words, it's marketed to young guys.*

* I get to say this because I was one--a dumb one, too.

[rcrush]

17. Its what high school kids use to cover the pot smell

Thats the whole reason it was created.

[JonLP24]

18. Exactly

It's also what we used during lunch breaks in the Army. :hide:

[jonnyblitz]

26. many of the people i smoke pot with are parents of high school

kids. :rofl:

22. it is the IN thing among that age group. It was last year's mandatory

stocking stuffer and will be this year's too. teenage boys, gotta love 'em :D

[evlbstrd]

23. It's a nerve gas variant.

My son uses it to repel adults. And it works.

[Taverner]

28. Better that than smelling like teenager...

[Blue_Tires]

29. kick

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. It's stinky, god-awful odiferousness for terminally ignorant people who have no right to live

until they grow a brain that lets them think for themselves and realize that they've bought into the consumerist, conformist, asshole agenda.




I mean, approximately.

[Arugula Latte]

31. My middle school son is into it. We keep pleading: "Just spray a small amount!"

Jesus, that stuff is overpowering. x(
