New Old Spice--Am I Doomed?

[The Nid Hog]

I was at Target today, picking up a set of "Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots" to amuse my daughter while she's down with the flu. While I was there I bought a bottle of the new Old Spice in the plastic jug. I just couldn't stop myself. I had been watching an old set of Old Spice AS and Cologne on eBay, but I said the heck with it. I can no longer be a prisoner of the past, a hostage to lost Shultonian dreams. My bottle of Ivory Club AS and new cologne are going to march proudly into the future.

On my way back from the store, I told my wife about how I agonized over this.

"Your kidding, right?"

Sigh the 2 go well together, I wouldn't sweat it.

At least they still sell "Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots"!

 

[mmack66]

At least you didn't buy the Old Spice "Fresh".

At least they still sell "Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots"!

Glad to see a man with his priorities in order.

Nid, I hate to tell ya, but Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots were reformulated in 1996.

Ouch! That hurts. One of my favorite toys as a kid (you do the math). Nid, I like the new OS formulation and can't discern from the one my Dad wore and I wore when I was a pup. Enjoy!

They just don't understand "Guy Stuff".

Hah! I can't believe I clicked on that.

I think that they have been redone a little. They look the same, but I think that they made the cut down from heavyweight to middleweight. They also don't make exactly the same ratcheting sound that they used to make when I was a kid. But they still fight. My daughter and I put the Red Rocker up against the Blue Bomber all afternoon.

And after I took a shower tonight, I slapped on that new Old Spice. Aaooo!

 

[The Nid Hog]

Now that I think about, it's kind of weird. I bought the reformulated Old Spice and the reformulated Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. And I'm OK with that!

Ha, I can still smell the janitor-closet goodness of the Old Spice "Pure Sport" that I wore today at work. Three or four of my co-workers are probably still bleeding from their sinus cavities.


We are the New Old Spice. Prepare to be assimilated.

i use the new old spice quite often as and cologne and like it, course i don't know what the old stuff smells like so i dont think that i'm really missing anything. my only problem is that u practicaly have to shower with it to get it to last for any length of time.

We've all been there.

I laughed at that despite myself.

By the way, I googled "Shultonian" and the OP was the only hit. Care to share, Nid-o?

"Shultonian" is in reference to Shulton the original makers of OS, now it is P&G.

 

[The Nid Hog]

"Shultonian (def). Of or pertaining to Shulton, the legendary producers of Old Spice."

Examples:

"I say, do you know Farthingdale in Acquisitions?"
"Know him? Why we're Old Shultonians!"

"Jeeves! Where's my blasted cologne?"
"At the risk of being a bit Shultonian m'lord, I've decanted some of the Club d'Ivoire. Shall I put it on the campaign table?"

"The Shultonian mists swirled around the ruins of Carfax Abbey."

Subconsciously you may be in the process of reformulating yourself....

I thought Old Spice was a classic American fragrance for classic American men. Why then do these Shultonians appear to be supercilious John Bulls?

 

[The National Razor]

I actually like the new OS AS and EdC. it's got a heavy vanilla note, but I think it smells great
