Took me too long to work out what was going on :(

In my defence we Brits call it Lynx

It's Lynx in Australia too.

I'm still trying to think why. There's no problem that I can see calling it Axe over here or Lynx over there. Why waste money on having completely different names for no apparent reason.

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCK 1 point2 points ago

I always assume it's just for legal reasons with these types of things. Like copyright issues.

[–]ComixSE 0 points1 point ago

According to wikipedia you are correct sir! It was due to trademark issues

They thought the american market wouldn't know what a 'Lynx' is.

[–]this_sort_of_thing 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't even know what a Lynx is, isn't it some sort of cat. It's just a name. Wtf does Pepsi mean?

[–]Tactful 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A Lynx is a big cat, yeah. Like a panther or a puma. The idea is that it's marketable, and sort... you know; sensual, exotic, dangerous.

When marketing in america, they decided to go with an Axe. I guess... you know; big, strong, dependable, cuts wood, held in the hands of burly men.

[–]Condawg 8 points9 points ago

Yes, but let me axe you a question. Everybody lynx manliness with cologne, but where does the cat come in?

Do they also market it as "Ask" in some parts of the US then?

[–]spamfiltered 1 point2 points ago

No, you mean the Unilever marketing team: British division, calls it Lynx. :)

That is, consequently, how I feel about people who use Axe body spray.

[–]gilbertsmith 12 points13 points ago

My friend insists on spraying this shit around all the time. I took a roadtrip with him last summer and he would spray it around the hotel room before going to bed. Because he "wanted to smell nice".

He's also an asthmatic, I don't know how that's supposed to work.

[–]640x480 5 points6 points ago

I don't know how that's supposed to work.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I had a roommate that would spray this in his room before going out to bars. No matter how cold it was I would have to open the windows to let it air out. It was like someone was using a can of mace as cologne. Maybe that is exactly how it is supposed to work...

[–]zombieslaya1138 0 points1 point ago

I hate people who do that.

Thanks for the way to shorten it, because whenever I put 'C&H' people expect Calvin and Hobbes.

While playing Need For Speed Underground years ago, I saw an advert for Axe, I always assumed it was a knock off brand along the lines of GTA's Cluckin Bell

A guy did this in my dorm at college. We (the 6 people whos rooms had been affected by the axe-bomb) went down to the corner store and bought about a dozen cans of shaving cream to craft our revenge with.

We caught the perpatrator coming back from a club meeting, and quite thouroughly covered him, ourselves, the hallway, and his room in about three inches of solid shaving cream.

One person was so brilliant as to use a screwdriver to pop a can of shaving cream and attempt to use it as a spray weapon. When nothing came out, he proceeded to peer into the hole he had created. This of course, was right when the shaving cream DID appear and he proceeded to get a geyser of shaving cream right in the eye. He dropped the can, and it fell to the floor and proceeded to spin around in a circle, spraying shaving cream everywhere, and spinning so quickly that I swear to this day that it was hovering.

About this time, two things happened. I collapsed to the floor from laughing so hard at the shaving cream whirlygig can, and the RIT housing people doing their nightly rounds happened to walk down our hall.

Cue security being called, and the entire dorm floor rushing to aid us with towels and brushes. By the time the officer got there, not a speck of shaving cream remained in the public areas (axe-bomber's room was still a mess of it though), and she proceeded to take it all down, laugh a bit and told us not to do it again on her shift.

The crowning jewel of awesome came the next morning when one of the janitors came by and wanted to know why everything was so clean. Because shaving cream is a cleaning product after all, and us rubbing it down to get rid of it had done a quite thourough job a also shampooing the carpet.

The moral of the story is that chemical warfare in college dorms can have awesome unanticipated results.
