The most surprising finding in our study is that Old Spice didn\u2019t even exist until 1937. People must\u2019ve been walking around with big stench marks rising from their putrid, historical bodies.\u201d The report goes on to speculate possible ways people were able to make themselves smell clean before the invention of Axe Body Spray in 1983.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Whetten added that he\u2019s hopeful future generations will find ways to completely eradicate our sense of smell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILADELPHIA&#8211; Describing a grim existence for all humans of the past, a report released Monday by the National Society of Historians confirmed the long-held theory&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1004,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[28,5],"tags":[280,299,298],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 -
