Everything minty is good

Yesterday I washed my hair with this newfangled Head & Shoulders shampoo called “Refresh”. It’s basically shampoo with mint, and it supposedly creates a refreshing, “wake-me-up” feeling. To me, it felt like washing my hair with Vicks VapoRub while eating a Halls and brushing my teeth at the same time. I was coughing and sputtering and my eyes were stinging… a generally unpleasant experience.

I can just picture the marketing people who came up with this..

Marketing Executive #1: “I’ve got an idea… minty shampoo.”

Marketing Executive #2: “Excellent idea!”

Marketing Executive #1: “Yes… because everything minty is good!”

Marketing Executive #2: “Wait… didn’t you also invent Sprite Ice?”

What’s next, Bacon Double McMinty with Cheese?
