It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly
The stuff at Truck Stops to make life on the road doable is really kind of interesting. The most interesting to me is “Idle Air,” this set of gantries in the lot with tubes hanging down that mate with one of the side windows to provide AC, electric, TV, and internet without having the truck idle all night. It’s an impressively large amount of infrastructure.
Damn that is pretty cool. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen or heard about that before
I guess they’re not as popular now, as trucks have become smarter and more electrified so they don’t have to idle as much while still being able to power increasingly efficient devices, plus I guess people just abused the everliving fuck out of them, but it’s such an interesting solution to a problem “normal” people wouldn’t think about, and one with very visible infrastructure.
They would have made a fortune on placing these in high school locker rooms.
What’s funny is that you (and I) associate cologne with high school, but adult men were spraying that shit on themselves from like the 50s to the 90s. Then Axe Body Spray took over the youth market, and a lot of boys coming of age started reevaluating their life choices. Smoking in public also became rare, and generally people started smelling better without the need for fragrances.
I can’t remember the last time I used cologne or smelled it on another person. But my laundry, shampoo, body wash, and beard balm all have their own fragrances.

This has got to be a big part of it in two different ways: smokers wanting to cover their own stink, but also smokers having reduced sense of smell!
It feels mostly regional to me. The vibe I get is that Americans especially don’t really care for fragrances while here in the Middle East it’s a goddamn stereotype of us Lebanese men that we wear too much cologne.
(Or as I have grown up to understand it, just about enough cologne)
Very regional. I live in Colombia and literally every single person wears perfume or cologne. I’m the odd one for not wearing scents like that.
Good point, I’m only speaking from my experience in the Mid-Atlantic US region. It’s probably different everywhere.
Yeah I’m American but I initially thought that that must be in the middle east since in my experience middle eastern men are much more likely to love wearing cologne
Is this new or novel? Every gas station I remember from growing up had these next to the condom vending dispensers. Even Wal-Mart had them.
Find me one irl I’ll wait
Haven’t seen them in nearly twenty years. Especially one not next to a condom dispenser.

How are you being so snobby in claiming that they cannot find something that you literally have just shown exists in the wild, especially when they’re implying they’ve seen them before…?
Think you’re taking my comment a bit too seriously if you think I’m being snobby lol.
The dude came into a mildly interesting post and was like “ugh seen it (years ago)” which I found hilarious bc once again it’s mildly interesting post
I haven’t seen one of these bad boys in a while so yeah to me it’s a bit interesting this one’s still kicking when it was probably installed 20 years ago
“Do XYZ I’ll wait” is always gonna sound snobby, even if it’s just a joke 🤷🏾♂️ to be clear I’m completely on your side. Even if these were super common in one area or another, if you find it at least mildly interesting, it’s in the right place. The opener to your comment just read as super defensive to me.
Hah I think I’d call it snarky instead of snobby then since my goal was to be snarky.
The dude came into a post asking insincerely if something was new because their childhood was raining cologne dispensers and condoms like that’s supposed to still be the case twenty years later.
Like be real with me dawg
Too bad it’s missing Cool Water
Isn’t that how you’re supposed to do it? Put it on your hands and dab yourself on the neck or whatever? Not SPRAY yourself down, what kind of savage are you.
what kind of savage are you
You’re buying Obsession by Calvin Klein out of a gas station bathroom dispenser. Cavemen would be horrified.
Like, ikr
I heard something for a lighter sent to spray the air in front of you and walk in to the mist. I don’t like overwhelming smell of concentrated perfume, so it’s a nice in between
I’ve always heard applying cologne with your hands is a faux pas since it’s then wasted on your hands or whatever else you use to spread it from there.
My dad was into the older colognes that weren’t in a spray bottle and with those you can do the usual wrist to neck padding.
I don’t really wear cologne these days and I don’t like putting things on my skin directly so if I do wear some I’ll just spritz my undershirt or something
It’s just so elegant, putting your fingertip at the opening, turning it upside down to catch a little on the tip, then tapping your key areas. Looks classy af. Dapper mf, let’s get dapper up in here now boys. 🤵♂️
Hah it’s definitely more fun for sure. Like when you zone out spraying yourself and do like four sprays instead of one.
I never wear perfume or cologne so I wouldn’t know, ngl 😅 You zone out in the 2 seconds it takes to spray a spritz of scent? 😆
Now we know where all the overstock from the early 90s went…
Surprised it doesn’t have a QR code for grindr lol
