2 things came to mind while I watched this commercial:
1) It was a whole (or only a) minute long! Gone are those days.
2) This, obviously, is what is causing this damned global warming that's allowing me to hit the scooter in my shirt sleeves on Dec 1!

OMG I used to use this crap when an adolescent first acquiring body odor. It lasted for a while, but overdid the neutralization effect, and gave one a whole different odor. During application it stank, and released humongous amounts of ozone-destroying propellant. And the residue would start irritating the skin after a half-day if you didn't wash it off. There were scads of aluminum salts in it, that would make my dermotologist shudder. But this was, umm, progress.
