Thanksgiving Traditions
It’s funny to think about where traditions come from. I mean, if you think about it, the first guy to bring a large tree into his living room and cover it with decorations was probably considered insane. But decorating Christmas trees, roasting chestnuts on an open fire and growing a holiday neck beard seem as natural as breathing to us now. I wonder what will happen as the tradition of having an Old Spice Classic becomes more routine? Will we eventually take it for granted? I, for one, doubt it.

I guess it depends on YOUR idea of what an “Old Spice Classic” is?
I know in referance to the Xmas holiday season, MY idea of an “Old Spice Classic” is the Gifts Sets of “The Origional fragrance”,that might contain not only aftershave & cologne;but deoderant,body talc and maybe either the old “soap-on a-rope” or the Old Spice classic body wash in a neat little gift set.
Of course to make it right, you could at least put the Old Ships and the Classic script back on the bottles. Maybe use similar glass or plastic containers that Shulton used back in the day!
Certainly double check the recipe! /(formula)
Make sure it also reflects the much loved Old Spice from the past!
Afterall,
I hope you were not refering to a B-Ball tournament!

Hey people, it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m enjoying my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that’ll probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Fort Thomas I haven’t seen yet.
You write something new at Thanksgiving?

Just to let you know what demographic I’m from – I’m 27. Now, to answer your question!
See, there already IS an Old Spice Classic tradition, though it will eventually run out and all that will be left is the plastic bottled Proctor & Gamble scent which now uses the Old Spice brand name.
Tradition can only be earned over time when you know that 50 years later, the same thing comes in the bottle that looks more or less just the way it did when it first came out. When your granddad can give you a bottle and say that’s what he used when he was your age.
I’m even all for the plastic bottle – sure, its a new millennium and some things have to change. Though I’ll bet a gift set with the original glass bottle would pique the curiosity of someone who intended to re-fill it.
In closing – watch one of the old adverts. Masculinity doesn’t always have to be about self-deprecating machoism!
