I think we need to talk to them about making a funnel cake body spray for the ladies.

My wife is lukewarm to the idea, but my dogs love it.

Honestly, if I had to choose between this and Axe, I'd rather be accosted with the burger stuff.

There's a company out there that makes similar perfumes called Demeter. Surprisingly they don't have a funnel cake one, but they do have a million other dessert types, plus stuff like Bonfire, Dirt, Mildew, Lobster, Play-Doh, Crayon and Sawdust.

Y'know, I had a (veggie) burger from one of those fast food places a while ago. My hands smelled like it for the rest of the DAY. This has to be the most pointless product ever created.

But... but... all the AXE ads say women will swarm all over me if I douse myself with the stuff. You don't mean to tell me they lied, do you?

I think my wife would prefer 'loaded baked potato'.

High five for that one.

I was thinking maybe a car collection could be compiled from Demeter perfumes. There's Paint, and one that smells like '70s vinyl. There are probably more that would fit.

FYI, they are already sold out of the online stock. Of course I checked.

I'm waiting for somebody to hose themselves down with the stuff and then walk into a dog park. It would make a great youtube vid.

That is funny. Last year I rode from Greenville SC back to Montgomery AL where I was TDY. Just outside of Atlanta I got suck in a 2 hour traffic jam....in July. I fought it as long as I could but the heat got to me and I had to take the jacket off. Once traffic started moving again I was still dying, so I left it off until just outside fo the city when I finally returned to safe operating tempratures. When I got back into the dorm building, someone noted I smelled like freewway. Which they pionted out wasn't a bad scent, it was just noteworthy. I held up my helmet and smiled.

I have been accused of "smelling like the Seven" after taking the Locost out for a run. It does not inspire lust in the female of the species, even if said female holds a competition rally license.

I think they got it right in their latest commercial. ASS body spray will make you smell like a giant walking turd all day.

Try driving a buell with a bad valve seal and no evaporative controls. You smell like a mix of burned oil and gasoline.

The other good one would be welding, you smell like burned metal after. Or funky old car smell.

One more, try mink oil, the spray on stuff for boots. I'm not joking the stuff smells like donuts. A kind of sweet smell.

Loaded baked potato scent is highly underestimated. I think you're onto something here... Maybe fillet mignon with a SIDE of baked potato and a whiskey hold the rocks. Yep. That sounds like a winner.

My buddy's dad already wears that! Only take away the loaded baked potato and fillet mignon.

Yeah, I really think the secret is how the smells play off each other versus each one on it's own lol.

Whenever I ride in fairly recent SAABs or Volvos I pick up the distinctive scent of Scandinavian car leather. I haven't noticed any effect on my wife, but I like it.
