It seems every product on the shelves is in a never ending attempt to better itself and its peers.\u00a0 Everyone must have seen this, razors being a fine, although obvious example.\u00a0 How many blades would you like?\u00a0 Okay, I can understand ditching the cut-throat (there must be plenty of dead people who wish this had happened sooner).\u00a0 I can perhaps understand the need for more than one blade.\u00a0 However, five seems a little excessive.\u00a0 Also, what’s with that spare one on the back of my fusion?\u00a0 I’m really not sure I need it.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I also have the inexplicable desire to buy that new Gillette.\u00a0 I don’t like that I need it, but in the same way as a crack addict tends to want more crack, I want that razor.\u00a0 Maybe that’s a slight hyperbole.\u00a0 I get this strange sense of excitement when I come home from the supermarket with some new type of liquid, implement or paste that i can some way use to lengthen the amount of time I spend in the bathroom.\u00a0 Invariably, the sense of joy wears off after a couple of days as I discover that this new, sparklingly packaged, unnecessary object is almost exactly the same, and does exactly the same job, as that it replaced.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Aquafresh, I do not want to buy their silly new toothpaste.\u00a0 For those who don’t spend as much time in front of the TV as me (a commendable, but easily accomplished task), this new wonder toothpaste foams.\u00a0 Yes, I realise most toothpaste foams, but this one looks like it’s a cross between shaving gel and toothpaste that could at any time envelop your mouth in a sticky bubbly mess of\u00a0 whiteness.\u00a0 There are several reasons this does not appeal to me.<\/p>\n
So STFU Aquafresh.<\/p>\n
Again, for those who care, a video follows.\u00a0 Unfortunately the only people with enough time on their hands to upload an ad to YouTube were French.\u00a0 If you speak french, unlucky.\u00a0 You will have the unfortunate ability to understand their idiocy.<\/p>\n
