When I lived with roommates we always had a weird collection of bath products in the shower. They were mostly empty bottles because people forgot to throw them out.
Some mornings I’d be half-asleep and find myself reading the back of the bottles. The practically discontinued Men’s Zone products were the best.
They were Walgreen’s attempt to tap into the men’s bath product market that Axe specializes in, but instead of overtly sexual marketing copy they used somewhat ambiguous phrases about how guys are tough and always win. And the product line was just called Men’s Zone.
Reading the copy for this Men’s Zone shower gel in my somnolent state brought forth this sequence of images.
Men’s Zone “Total Care for Men” products are available online through fine retailers such as eBay.
Tip: I would not recommend using a $30 refurbished Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet to sketch anything on a computer.

Our bingo crew, puttin’ in work. Just six cards at once, not sweating it though (I was really sweating it).
I guess I should explain this for people who don’t live in the Mission, in San Francisco, and hang out at Dolores Park. There’s a dude who goes around the park selling canned PBRs and bottled water out of his cooler. His line is “cold beer, cold water.” So people call him that. Now you can get the joke too! Right? No??
