How do you beat the ever-loving crap out of the Schick Quattro? You hit them with 5 blades of pure shaving glory in the form of the Gillette Fusion.
The first time the Fusion commercial came on during a friend's Super Bowl party, I loudly announced mid-commercial that now they've packed FIVE blades into a razor, and it's gonna be awesome! The crowd laughed, because clearly I couldn't be serious.
3 seconds later, they learned how serious I was.
Unbeknownst to me at the time, it turns out that this was an old joke. The Onion, both poignant and prescient, called it WAY early. Almost 2 full years early, in fact!
These guys are good. Really good.
Next time The Onion calls the 2008 election in favor of Soupy Sales, I might not be laughing...
