“For 60 years I have been using Old Spice products,” writes Robert. “The first was purchased in Suva, Fiji, on a flight to Lauthala Bay in a Sunderland seaplane when in the RNZAF because it was not available in NZ in the early 1960s. For some reason, the stick deodorant is now not available in NZ so I have had to buy it from Australia. On the container it used to read: IF YOUR GRANDFATHER HADN’T WORN THIS YOU WOULDN’T EXIST. But no longer, it now has, DANGER ZONE, followed by: For the man who laughs in the face of danger, whistles at trouble and takes no heed of adversity. With the Old Spice DANGER ZONE mens deodorant you smell like the courage of a test pilot flying a jet full of bombs. It is such a pity I am now over 80.”

With the analogy of men as red wine and women as white wine, David from Schitt’s Creek gives the mainstream viewing public his take on sexuality and gender fluidity. He says: “I do drink red wine. But I also drink white wine. And I’ve been known to sample the occasional rosé. A couple of summers ago I tried a merlot that used to be a chardonnay. I like the wine, not the label.”
