SPOTTED ON SHELVES (NOT FOOD EDITION) – 3/11/2013

Here are some interesting new products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

It seems like it was just yesterday when Axe products consisted of just body sprays that young men would spray too much of on their bodies. Now there are body washes, shampoos, hair styling products, and face cleaning products. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Wicked Cool! would’ve been a TOTALLY wicked cool name for toothpaste during the 1990s, bra! I look forward to Tom’s of Maine’s future kids toothpaste — Da Shiznit! Toothpaste. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Back in my day, we didn’t have fancy face washes, face lotions, body washes, shampoos, and shave gels. We used Ivory soap for EVERYTHING. Sure, I had dandruff and irritated skin on my face from shaving with Ivory soap, but we liked it. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

“As seen on YouTube”? Not quite that impressive of a label to put on a oral hygiene product. I would’ve preferred something, like “Doctor Recommended” or “Dentist Recommended.” After all, a lot of things have been seen on YouTube. They’re putting themselves in the same boat as cat videos, cinnamon challenge videos, and men getting hit in the balls videos. (Spotted by Marvo at Target.)

Thank you to all the photo contributors!
