So I un-cork my new deodorant, and as my bleary eyes looked down at it, I was surprised by the words “Take the risk” carved out on the top of the product. Surely a surprising message for deodorant. What risk am I taking by using this product? Is it not an effective anti-perspirant? Will it cause my pits to burst into flames? What’s the risk here?
In reality, it’s just some marketing schmuck somewhere trying to make his product ‘edgy’ and ‘extreme’, but I have to say the results are amusing. However, if you see me running around and my armpits are on fire, just know I took the risk.
I’m edgy like that.

did you check the ingredients for asbestos?

If it had asbestos, it would protect me from the fire, which would make it less extreme. It probably has napalm, which is way more extreme.

certainly got your attention (not to mention your goat) so early in the morning. that schmuck probably got a good buck for thinking of the gimmick. the simplist inventions are often the best
(remember the book!)

but I already *bought* the product. It’s not like I’m going to buy more now.
