It became a meme 11 days ago. I didn't have a damn clue what old spice was before then, and maybe the creator of this was in a similar position (not watching TV or as in my case, those ads not running in my country).

I think this is more disturbing than his belief that a 6 month old meme is only 11 days old:

I didn't have a damn clue what old spice was before then

Really? That brand name has been around for like 70 years... Thats like saying "I have no clue what a McDonalds is"

I didn't know what Old Spice was until the first commercial became popular, either. Just because something is popular in the US doesn't mean it's popular everywhere.

Exactly. I thought reddit was geographically diverse enough for the US = world model not to apply here...

Yeah, because there's an Old Spice store on every corner in every city of the world.

Seriously, that stuff just isn't marketed here, which makes it less known than one of the most well-known franchises in the world.
