[OT] Orange?
I've been watching the Australian Grand Prix F1 race, and am curious
about some advertising I see at the course. They're large signs, usually on a plain orange background, that display the word "Orange". If not on an orange background, the text is orange. I've seen these signs at other sporting events on TV, although I don't recall seeing them at an event originating in North America. What product are these "Orange" signs advertising?

My guess is Orange hand degreaser stuff. It's orange scented and it's a
lotion type consistancy (more like a cream rinse conditioner for your hair) and it takes all the dirt and grim from around fingernails, in callouses and stuff that mechanics and labor intensive men seem to get.

Oh... I'm sorry Jeanne, I see where you mentioned Australia and not
North America. The product I'm talking about is very popular here, almost all the men I know (southern redneck/mechanic/farmer etc type) are familiar with the stuff so it wouldn't make sense they promote something over there and not here.

Orange is a cell phone service provider, network, system, or whatever you
call it. It's all over Asia, big here in Thailand too. It's fairly new, they came out with it 2 years ago about. It took me forever to figure out what all the advertisements were about too because that's all they ever put: ORANGE. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album "Jeanne Hedge" wrote in message ...

Just to let everyone know, Orange is not a degreaser here - it's a mobile (cellular) phone company. I suppose it's only to be expected, considering the types of Australians and Australian programs you are exposed to in America. I've known what a "black and white" (cop car) is since I was a little boy watching Adam 12. Now, if I ask you what a White Maggot is here, you'd probably gag!

Quite all right Grace
It does seem that every cleaning product these days trumpets "orange", doesn't it? And before that "lemon" was popular. I think we may all be in trouble if they start using chocolate in the ingredients g Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha On Sat, 6 Mar 2004 22:25:16 -0600, "GraceCat" wrote: Oh...

I think we may all be in trouble if they start using chocolate in the ingredients g Doesn't anyone but me balk at everything having to smell edible? Even perfumes, nowadays, seem to come in fruit scents! Although I guess those are preferable to some of the "designer" scents which they insist upon "demonstrating" in department stores. (My reaction to most of those is "Who'd want to smell like THAT????") |
