I remember this stuff though I didn't need it quite yet. It even looks like the brand is still alive, at least on this side of the pond.

Of course underarm odor must've been quite noticeable when the Nazis made their stiff-arm salutes.

I once made the mistake, one bleary eyed morning, of using a girlfriend's hair spray, thinking that it was deodorant.

I couldn't put my arms down for most of the morning.
