But no… Flame (eau de Burger King) is real, out there and waiting to be bought. The ad for the product describes it as ‘ the scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat’.

 Minimising deodorant: hair today, finer hair tomorrow

Minimising Deodorant Underarm Hair
It’s set to solve all Julia Roberts’ hairy underarm problems in one foul swoop but will you be opting for Sure and Dove’s Hair Minimising deodorant when it goes on sale next month? We girlies at StyleJunkee are wondering what on earth is wrong with a good old fashioned razor? (or waxing if you’re as sophisticated as us). A deodorant that reduces hair growth just sounds plain ‘wrong’.. but what do we know.

Three years in the making and, according to manufacturer’s Unilever, the innovative Minimising deodorant – which apparently slows down underarm hair growth while also making it finer – is set to revolutionise the deodorant industry. Unilever predicts it will generate a rather substantial £10 million in 2009 and that a third of women will switch to using it. So that’s that then – 2009 and it’s underarms at the ready. Out with the Bic and in with the Minimising.
