Me: <reads back of humorous body wash>
K: Yeah, I bought that on a day I couldn't smell, largely because of the packaging. It turned out to be rather... licorichy.
Me: Which is odd to me, since it's marketed as "for Men", and more people who like licorice that I know are female than male. But maybe that's the point - smell like what you want to attract?
K: If that's the case, then Body Wash for Men should smell like chocolate, because marketing tells us that all women love chocolate, and Body Wash for Women should smell like vanilla.
Me: I didn't know men were known to like vanilla.
K: I just report the news. Anyway, I'd really rather smell like... coffee.
Me: You want to attract people who stay up late at night?
K: Nerd-bait, that's me.
