Free sample from Old Spice was a ripoff
The free sample from Old Spice that I posted a while back finally came. It was a scatch and sniff postcard. Screw them

Wasn't the scratch and sniff enough to let you know you don't want to smell like Old Spice? They did you a favor.

Favor, not ripoff. I cannot imagine, but then, who am I, anyone who would feel ripped off not getting a full sample of Old Spice.

My first thought when seeing it that Old Spice was branching out... Are you sure it wasn't a sample of toiliet paper?

Thumbs down
I send away for fragrance samples regularly, and have noticed these postcards have become the trend over the past year or so.

Sounds like the "sample" offer was pretty pathetic .... no excuse for that!

However, this "old man" still loves Old Spice ....

But then I buy a bottle of it so maybe that helps.
