34. I liked the '60s version of Old Spice

Jan 2013

but today's version seems to be different.

I remember a lot of aftershave commercials that were broadcast during sports programs and political talk shows of the '60s and '70s.

Old Spice featured some sailor walking through town and giving some local guy a bottle.
For Aqua Velva, there was the jingle sung by a sexy female voice: "There's something about an Aqua Velva man."
English Leather had some sexy woman cooing "All my men wear English leather, or they don't wear anything at all."
And the Hai Karate commercials showed some guy using martial arts to fend off all the girls who were over-attracted to his scent.
