A new twist on coffee breath

So I was looking up something on the internet today and an ad on the side of the page caught my eye. It referenced chai, and anyone who has spent time with me in the past few years knows I am a chai addict. I love chai. I could drink chai everyday. A Grande Non-fat Chai Latte from Starbucks, if you want to get specific. Unfortunately, my current occupation doesn't allow for much chai consumption. Sure, I get it sometimes if I'm having a rough day or on the weekends when I venture into Starbucks with WH every once in a while. But it's not a regular occurence. So you can imagine my interest when chai popped right up on my computer screen.

However, this wasn't any ordinary chai. This was vanilla chai. But not just vanilla chai. This was an ad for Secret Antiperspirant in Vanilla Chai flavor. What?!?, Im sure you're exclaiming as I was when I saw the ad. But no kidding - it's the real deal. See exhibit A...























So I think I have explained that I love chai just as much as the next chai-lover, but do I really want to smell like chai? I thought coffee breath was something we were supposed to avoid. So what would you call this? Chai pits? Ok that's a little disgusting, but it was the best I could come up with.

And what's next? Dri Idea Caramel Macchiato? Ban Mocha Latte? Sure Raspberry Frappachino? It's a world gone mad, I tell you. There's just something wrong with putting something you eat on your armpits to stop you from sweating.

yes, it's a bit much. On recent trip to the store, my girls and I were in the health and beauty isles. Both girls delighted in the fact that there were so many flavors of deoderant to choose from. I then made very sure they were very clear they knew where deoderant was to be used!

I'm sorry Gagknee, I will try to post more often on your blog, so you don't feel left out.

I accidentally arrived here, started reading and crazy enough, I've bought this chai deoderant before.
I can confirm it, having chai pits is really as bad as it sounds. :P
