Baloo

Mr. John Goodman, no matter how many fake Baloo characters you voice, no matter how hard you try, you are not the 2nd coming of Phil Harris. Please accept it and move on.

Fake Fakt Friday:
If you are like the millions of other USA'ers you have probably wondered aloud on many occasion, "whatever happened to the brand Wilkinson Sword?" Fear not! The entire staff here at GodHasWheels (me) has been working feverishly to bring you an answer! During the mid-80's, at the height of the disposable razor war, Wilkinson Sword's marketing department made a critical tactical error that would ultimately lead to the company's demise. Gillette, their major competitor, released the first double-bladed disposable razor in 1986, a product dubbed 'Atra Divine Double', ADD for short. Wilkinson Sword was just finishing development of their own double-bladed disposable as well. Feeling pressure to rush their product to market, and looking to present themselves as an edgier brand than Gillette, they opted to name their new razor the 'Pubecutter Ultra'. It's arrival on store shelves sent consumers scurrying away in droves. Though they quickly yanked the product, the damage had been done and the company was never able to earn back consumers' trust. Honestly! Would I make this stuff up?
(yes)
