Smell War Horse? Don't Be Fooled!

[condorlover1]

Probably right on that one Dan although it did save on tobacco but added unnecessary weight!

 

[mawnansmiff]

On a more serious note, I would wager sales of both red and green bar would increase if the scent was toned down some as it really is so overpowering. I very much doubt the original had such a pervasive stench.

Jay.

Well, if you do cut back on the flavor, I demand more shoe polish. ::

What if we added cowbell?

You'd always end up having to add more.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

There’s never enough cowbell!

Jay funnily enough thats what the original smelled like but we just amped up the topping for the American market based on a broad market research and extensive testing on Jim Inks!

All I can say is Jim has my sympathies.

+1 Jay!

Shit.... Give me some of that. Sounds right in my wheelhouse.
I love GH&Co. Grassmere, Ennerdale, and the like. SG Cannon Plug ain't bad either. SG Special Flake #1 and #2 are excellent. SG RB Flake is a mainstay.
I gotta order some of this War Horse in both versions soon.

It really amazes me that the owners sell this blend by exaggerating the nastiness of it. I wonder how many people get the blend and are disappointed because it really is a pleasant aroma... at least after they get over the chemical headache. ::

 

[crashthegrey]

It is the most interesting sales pitch in some time. It seems to be working, too.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

It must be working, I'm sold now. Turpentine, valerian, shoe polish, opium, lavender... got a lot going for it. Does it remove graffiti and polish shoes?

 

[blendtobac]

We were going to include one of the original ingredients, but apparently you need a special governmental permit to get access to radium.

[theloniousmonkfish]

What about the old watch dials, could you get enough of them to gather sufficient radium?

Let's not forget radium toothpaste and radium condoms :crazy:
Regards,
Jay.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ooooooo, where can I find radium condoms? I mean... you know... I'm asking for a friend. ::

The whole advertising campaign was designed by the well known off Madison Avenue PR firm called Acme Adventurous Advertising LLC. The campaign was handled by Mr. W. E. Coyote who pioneered the concept of negative selling by making an item seem so terrible and unappealing that you just had to give it a go. Other examples of Mr. Coyotes successful campaigns involves selling cat turds as Tootsie Rolls and the well known campaign for the home brain surgery kit for the under 12 market sold through Toys Are Useless. Other notable successes include the famous campaign on the subway for the Elmer Fudd Sphincter Stretcher and the Trump Butt Plug and Pipe Tamper. :rofl:

The tins with the partially smudged stickers have pieces of Jimmy Hoffa inside. The stickers with backward printing are the tins with Paul McCartney.

I applaud Russ' decision not to mix those two together.
