They've been advertising German 'caffeine shampoo' on telly for a while now. Seems to be aimed at blokes. What is it for? What does it do that other runny soap can't?

Do you drink it?

Is there an 'egg sarnie bubblebath'? I'm all for an efficient start to the day, but I'm not sure if you have breakfast instead of washing, or wash instead of breakfast.

Curiously, it wasn't advertised in France.

It seems that you start the day with caffeine shampoo but later in the day (say after 8pm) you move over to de-caff.

Can you still get 'beer shampoo'? That was around in the ..ahem.. 'ties I recall, when I was still on Johnsons baby stuff.

Yeah but you've got to make sure that you snort it all up the nose. It stings like hell if you get it in the eyes.

You certainly can still get beer shampoo - Linco. I think like caffeine its meant to stimulate the scalp to grow stronger hair. I'm still waiting...

I like the fact that the advert tells you precisely fuck all about what the product actually is, and instead just says that they've sold millions of bottles in Germany. Presumably the implication is that if the Germans like it then it must be good and we should all start using it too.

I'm off to Germany tonight, maybe I should stop someone in the street and say "caffeine shampoo - what's that all about? Apparently you lot fucking love it"

I've never understood why people buy Hazelnut flavoured coffee. Or any other coffee that doesn't taste like coffee for that matter. Whittards would be my number one vote for good old Room 101.

Take on bottle into the shower?
Yes; Red Bull.

@dvo4fun - Advert barefaced lies #56

It may have taken a few minutes but Johnsons baby "no more tears" bathtime can actually cause hospitalisation if rubbed in enough. There are side effects to this including not being allowed to baby sit for the neighbours.
