| Yeah, like this ever happened. |
Maybe if I sniff formaldehyde while dissecting a frog.
Nor do I recollect any of my male lab mates (like that cool guy in the ad at left) ever cozying up close to me over my microscope and commenting on my great-smelling tresses.
Nevertheless, just thinking about "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo and conditioner triggers a pleasing aroma in my brain that in many other ways brings back the best memories of my high school days. It's as if my hip-hugger bell bottoms still fit.
For those too young to remember, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific (referred to from this point on as GYHST) was THE shampoo smell of the mid-70s. And it truly delivered on its promises. I'd wash my at-the-time-trendy long, parted-in-the-middle hair every morning in GYHST and its unforgettable spicy-floral fragrance remained for a long time.
Makes me pine for my old mood ring just recalling it.
Girls went crazy over the shampoo. And, if you believed the ads, the guys loved the smell.
Not that GYHST snagged me any extra dates back in the day, mind you. I still had to ask six guys to the Girls Athletic Association (GAA) formal before one would agree to go with me. (Thanks, Artie!) But I digress.
My old high school chum, Linda, and I were actually reminiscing about GYHST the other night. Just imagine the blissful state we could reach if we could actually open a bottle and allow that unforgettable bouquet from our collective misspent youth waft once more under our aging noses...
Well, we need not imagine any longer!
Apparently -- and not surprisingly -- GYHST Shampoo and Conditioner are available via the net from The Village Country Store. I might check Amazon as well, and I'll bet you can find them on eBay, too.
Gee, Your Smells Terrific.
Ahhhhh....
The scent remembers when.
