Anonymous, unsinged, and undated comment. See history

This article is practically a word for word copy of the History page on the P&G site. Revise please. "Old Spice is now the No. 1 antiperspirant/deodorant stick and body wash brand in the United States." Is there any way to prove this claim?

Red Dragon

I just watched the film "Red Dragon" and I believe Hannibal Lecter said: "Something a child would select" not ""Something a child would wear". I interpret that as not as a joke but as a threat ("I know you have a son"). / Elinnea 19:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC) creepy i wear old spice all the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.152.120.127 (talk) 19:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Social Stigma?

Is there a social stigma associated with Old Spice? I would refer to this post and this webcomic. There is obviously something going on, but I don't know what. The article here should contain a "Cultural Significance" section explaining what "Old Spice" really means to people. --193.11.177.69 (talk) 00:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sailing Ship logos

It appears the Grand Turk referred to was a privateer built in 1781 in Hanover, Massachusetts for Elias Hasket Derby of Salem, MA.[1] She was a brig of 300 tons. If this is correct the reference to the original motif beginning during the "Colonial" period may stand as accurate by a matter of several months.

The Friendship originally linked to was an obscure and short-lived British transport ship that carried prisoners to Australia and was scuttled unceremoniously just four years after being launched when her crew caught scurvey off of Borneo. The relevant Friendship was doubtless a post-Colonial era 171-foot, 342-ton, three-masted East Indiaman built in Salem, Massachusetts 1797[2] Wikiuser100 (talk) 08:16, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The new Old Spice commercial that has become a viral hit

I think the new Old Spice commercial starring Isiah Mustafa should be mentioned in the article, since it has become a viral hit.--120.28.64.74 (talk) 12:10, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Poor History

Above is stated: "This article is practically a word for word copy of the History page on the P&G site." How true and how sad. Not a word about old products. Not even a picture of the old White Glass shaving mug, and the appropriate refills, that were ousted (removed from the product line) about 1990. Being a life-long user of Old Spice shaving products, I miss this information. --Stein s (talk) 11:19, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
