The problem with doing a zero prep lather games is that you end up with some questionable decisions.
My idea of low key doing all 30 days got fucked up yesterday when I couldn’t find a random sample I thought I had somewhere. After 45 minutes I gave up. So no 30 days for me. Still haven’t completed the games.
But today was a tough one two. A nautical theme? I don’t have soap with a nautical theme. I puzzled and puzzed until my puzzler was sore. And then I realized I did have one soap whose soap concept is nautically themed in some way.
Uitwaaien.
Yes, I know Ben said it’s about friendship or some shit like that, but the thing that I most take away from this scent is that the marketing of it is about a beach (nautical, see), and in particular it’s my grandmother’s beach.
Apparently , we grew up playing on the same beach and he made a scent about it.
Anyway. Is that nautical? I think it is. Nautical enough, anyway.
Gotta say something nice about /u/Priusaurus. I had the privilege of telling him that he won last year and he was awesome about it. Really gracious winner, and a cool guy to hang out with for about 45 minutes on the podcast with. A well deserved win in a really difficult field last year.
