Keeping You Fresh And Smelling Sweet

"School runs, playtime, homework, bedtime... the demands of family life are constant, and can take their toll on your temperament - and your body temperature. Do you find life as a mother or father can leave you less than sweet-natured - and perhaps smelling less than fragrant, too? When your days feel relentless and you're losing your cool, turn to Amplex Anti-Perspirant Roll-on Deodorants to keep you fresh and smelling sweet."

Yet another roll-up, roll-on, instant cosmetic cure-all, cover-up.

In the mid 1970s there was a toilet roll shortage, people started buying up every available roll, just in case. There was a news item where the reporter went round asking people how they would cope without toilet paper. The high and mighty, the rich, society's most favored, all stepped forward to offer their pearls of wisdom, suggesting everything from newspaper to dock leaves and handfuls of grass.

Eventually the reporter found a member of the underclasses, out of work, poor, hungry and obviously without the wherewithal to stockpile essentials like toilet rolls.

"How will you manage without toilet paper?" the plum in the mouth reporter asked.
"Same as I always do," came the reply,"I'll use soap and water."
