[edit] Flamethrower
Should there be a section or article, maybe an internet meme for the use of axe as a flamethrower? Its all over youtube, just search Axe and Fire. --152.163.100.5 16:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Um, no. It's not an Axe-exclusive feature. Any sprays with flammable propellants can be used that way. Prometheus-X303- 20:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not for intimate use
It does say that on the side of my Axe "Phoenix" can...should I take a photo and post it (in the public domain, of course) or would that go under the "No original research" as far as getting that citation that's needed? --72.141.60.152 21:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I have a Lynx can (Phoenix) and it doesn't say "Not for intimate use". It must just be for Axe Cardboard boxA 11:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Targeting
I added that it is mainly targeted to teens because it is. The actors in their commercials are all teens, and their brands are teen driven. Google statistics to see.
- You're right and I doubt there are many people older than their teens that use Axe/Lynx (particularly in Europe) but the reasons you've just given are original research. - 81.178.209.89 11:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Need an article
about "the order of the serpentine." Viral marketing website. Gary Seven 19:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tag
Did Axe make TAG? --daunrealist 02:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- No. Axe is a Unilever brand. Gillette makes TAG. "TAG is a re-incarnation of Right Guard Body Spray" PrometheusX303 22:44, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
I made some further additions to the article. -L.a.z.
[edit] Merger
I'll merge Axe Bodyspray with this page; any objections? Dannycas 21:04, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Do it. Gary Seven 17:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Axe and music videos
Does anyone know if there's a hip-hop music video (possibly with Ciara) where there's a guy spraying Axe while walking down the street? I remember seeing something like that a while back on either MTV or BET, but I can't find any info on it now.
Yes, that was "1,2 step" you can add it if you want to.
[edit] History
The article has some contradictory information. In the introductory paragraph, it says it was first launched in France but later down in the history paragraph, it states that It was launched in South Africa, with a date prior to the France launch.
[edit] Axe/Lynx Ad
A practically identical ad was also made starring Ben Affleck for the Lynx label for the UK market. The ad uses some of the same scenes as the version with Nick Lachey, although most of the scenes are different. [1]
While, I'm not disputing that is airs overseas in Europe, but the link citing the ad shows Ben Affleck advertising the Axe brand, not Lynx. Can anyone from that region comfirm that there are two ads, or is this just a simple typo? -HumanZoom 05:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed or you would like to help spread this message contact us on this page. Thanks, ---J.S (t|c) 03:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lisa Snowdon
No mention of the infamous "lift" advert with Lisa Snowdon? I found this which might help. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 16:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] It's LYNX not AXE !
It's a brand originating from the UK, owned by a British/European conglomerate based in the UK. The article and pictures cleary do not represent this. The article should not even be called "Axe", it should be "Lynx", and all searches shoud redirect to "Lynx". I understand both brand names are used around the world, but Lynx should have priority for the reasons mentioned above. Sumit Desai 22:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- No, no it shouldn't I've only heard of Lynx on wikipedia so no. Dappled Sage 20:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Unilever is an Anglo-Dutch company (meaning originatin from the UK and the Netherlands). Lynx is used in the UK (one part of the company) and Axe is used in mainland Europe (the other part) so IMO it's more of a draw. Besides Axe deodorant gets more hits on google then Lynx deogorant. Anyway, its not like the first paragraph doesn't mention that this product is distributed around the world under two different names. -HumanZoom 01:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- If anything the page should be called Ego as that was it's original name and then have lynx and axe redirect to it. 81.129.166.156 20:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah Dappled Sage, you haven't heard of Lynx before so therefore it can't possibly be used as the name of the article seeing as Wikipedia should conform to your world view, right? Regardless of idiotic assumptions like this I think Axe is probably the most suitable term, for the reasons mentioned by HumanZoom (besides the obligatory Google hits argument that gets mentioned in every discussion like this); although Lynx wouldn't an unsuitable title either. Ultimately, it really doesn't matter much as long as both terms (and, to an extent, the original name "Ego") are explained in the opening paragraph. - 81.178.209.89 11:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's sold everywhere but the Commonwealth (and a numerical minority there) as Axe.24.6.2.72 05:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
