Is it too soon to start being nostalgic for the 90s?
Remember those kids who used to sell cologne on the street? Whatever happened to them? One kid would sit on the sidewalk with a box of knock-off colognes and another, usually a female, would approach you and ask what type of cologne you wore, like she was taking a survey for the National Council on Fragrance or something. That was a nationwide phenomenon around 1995, but it thankfully disappeared.
I used to always tell them that my religion didn’t allow the wearing of cologne and if they asked what my religion was I’d tell them I worshipped Satan.
it’s still alive and kicking in LA – I just got hit up by a ‘team’ at the gas station. the bad part? the price is not even significantly cheaper than getting it at Macy’s…!
