i love the detist one and the one in the grocery store.

Those were on tv like 6 months ago, i think the campaign is finished now. The shower gels have been out for years, used to love the gurana one, smells awesome.

Yeah. I don\'t know why it\'s not called Axe all around the world. Not that I\'m going to buy it anyway. :)

The commercials have no entertaining value and really aren\'t htat funny. Only good thing about them is the girls are slamming.

Yeah the girls are awesome just like some of the chick on the site as well. :thumb:

Knew never they could mix guarana into a shower gel, i suppose it gives u a energy boost as well? I like the look of the snake skin one.

an energy boost from a shampoo? i think i\'ve heard everything

i didn\'t even think an energy boost from a shampoo was possible. man, everyone is joining in on the energy drink bandwagon. watch that energy drinks turn into the new cigarettes

I mainly think its because of how fast the whole is moving these days. People are a lot more busy and work orientated. Its no surprise that theres all this "energy boost" creams and drinks going around. These shower gels were actually quite good, nice and refreshing

i\'m sure though putting all these energy things in your body have some bad effects on it in the long run

i really doubt it has this "energy boost." More marketing ploys that people believe in like a placebo

majoring in business is making me skeptical of any and all advertisements,lol

one of my majors is communications and we look at some advertisements in regards to mass media. i\'m taking an advertising class to fullfill a requirement for my radio/tv/film major and its making me even more skeptical. though, i\'ve always been skeptical of advertising

I have used products that do state that it has Vitamin B or E or something that can provide an energy boost. As for side effects i didn\'t actually experience anything.

Is Lynx the only ones who employ these advertising strategies though?

Its a vitamin, you\'ll piss it out if you have too much of it.  Doubt it actually gives you an energy boost anyway.

Vitamins won\'t have any adverse affects then. And yeah, you\'ll just piss it out. I think the energy thing is a psychological thing anyway.

Actually, that\'s only water-soluble vitamins. The fat-soluble vitamins surplus get stored in the liver (as does B12, even though it\'s water-soluble).

It\'s possible to get side effects from "too much" of some fat-soluble vitamins (causing nausea and vomiting for instance).

Pill vitamins (or manufactured vitamins in general that they put into millions of products) you can indeed get TOO MUCH of something. That\'s not the case with vitamins and minerals from food.
