Axe Shower gel hook-up redux

In an attempt to be accurate and thorough in our reviews, we will sometimes post a follow-up review to an item we had previously reviewed. Why? Well, me may be wrong, misleading, or just did not praise the item enough.

Unfortunately, the Axe shower gel hook-up is in the first category.

Some things are just not as good as they seem when you first get them. Some things are "new" and "shiny" and it takes a while for the honeymoon to be over.

I was wrong about my 1990 Hyundai Excel Hatchback. I originally thought it was a great car, and placed a $1500 dollar stereo inside. Within 2 years, I realized that I was it was a big hunk of crap. If I lit it on fire, it would be a flaming hunk of crap.

I remember eating a few of chocolate/mint laxatives when I was a child. They were delicious. They also had me on the john for 3 hours straight.

There have been other times when I've just been flat out wrong or foolish.

I was wrong to underestimate the wrath of the average housewife when I poked fun at the Twilight books on my humor blog.
I was wrong to think that as a poster-child for the middle class, I would receive more than a pittance in this financial mess from a President who promised more.
I was wrong when I purchased $125 dollar sunglasses and thought they'd be better than a $20 dollar pair.

And I was definitely wrong in my initial review of the Axe shower gel hook-up. I originally stated that the hook-up would hold up the bottle with some gel removed. I was flat out wrong.

The hook-up will hold your bottle for roughly 1-2 days, and then scare you in the middle of the night with a crash in the shower. Perhaps you used soap instead of shower gel that day??? You better push the Axe bottle tightly up against the silly rubber suction cups, or you may have it hit your big toe in the middle of showering.

The concept is genius, but the execution is unbelievably poor. I would not recommend this product to anyone. (the hook-up....not the gel as it is wonderful) You should just buy the gel, and leave in on the floor of the shower where you pee.
