Just Looking P#$%T@!

I'm a curious fellow.

For a while now, I've noticed that Clear shampoo is advertising like crazy. I hear ads of it on the radio everytime i fetch my sister from work, twice or more times. I see posters of it splattered in the supermarket across my home. I assume there are TV commercials of it too though i dont watch local channels very often. Wanting to somewhat apply the lessons of marketing that I learned during my college days, I guess the ME part of me was wondering what company is responsible for such a blitz marketing strategy. No. There's no such term. But i want to use it because the word BLITZ sounds cool. Blitz Blitz Bliltz.

Blitz!

So anyway, I was in the Peoplesoft Mercury Drugstore earlier today and those Clear Anti Dandruff shampoos were being sold there. At last to satisfy my curiousity, i picked one up and looked at the back of the bottle to see who was behind the BLITZ marketing. Then, out of nowhere, this ninja Clear promotion saleslday appeared out of nowhere and kept giving me free samples.

Jahe dudes. Sarap hiritin: "MISS, WALA AKO DANDRUFF, OK? Tumitingin lang ako dito." Throw in a couple of expletives in that sentence too.. Oh well, Of course i didnt say that though, so ended up taking that damn sample. Since the store was pretty small, a bunch of people was looking my way as the saleslady was ENTHUSIASTICALLY explaining why Clear was the better Anti Dandruff Shampoo brand. I bet they were probably thinking.. YUCK DANDRUFF.

Badtrip! X_X

Btw, Clear is a Unilever product. So I blame them for this incident!
DAMN YOU UNILEVER! GO P&G!!!
