This is a good idea as anyone who lives with a 15yo X-Box gamer can tell you.

FFS, are Microsoft and Xbox really that stupid?

Unilever owns Axe, remember when Axe was too successful branding Axe as the scent of smelly try hard teenagers

“Hey Xbox, wanna be the new brand for smelly teenage boys? You do, well we have the perfect opportunity for you.”

Ugh, Lynx obviously should be brand partners with Atari, not Xbox.

If there’s one hygiene brand that should partner with Microsoft, it’s clearly Softsoap.

You folks just fail to understand how hard it is to grow a neckbeard. They look lovely in the afternoon light streaming through a basement window…

Can someone explain what “winter lemon” means, exactly? Do lemons grow in winter? Do they smell different than lemons grown in summer?

Apparently the Meyer variety of lemon shows up in late fall or early winter. They taste less tart and more sweet, but the really relevant bit here is the zest.

“The zest of both regular lemons and Meyer lemons is fragrant and bright, but Meyer lemon zest has a more floral and even subtly spicy depth to it.” [Link]

You mean it already isn’t? I’ve got friends with xboxes, and it seems like most of the people (or at least those with microphones) are teens. Weirdly, my dead and cremated mother is apparently pretty sexually active in that crowd as well…

Lemon with menthol or mint?

Oh thank god. I thought they were using spring lemons and thought this was a ridiculous product, but now that I see it’s winter lemons I am on board.
