Rotting Turtle

Post by scooter »

This requires some set-up. One of the YouTubers I watch has a number of different channels, but Business Blaze is the one where he is strongly encouraged to be as wacky as possible and make all kinds of jokes. The nominal idea was that this was going to be a documentary channel all about businesses and corporations, and the weird trivia of the corporate world, but it's sort of drifted from that a bit and now involves just crazy stories to make Simon say goofy things, with a great deal of shtick built in about things like the guy that Simon supposedly has captured in his basement, Simon's love of coffee, his full lush beard, his "being on the same page" as his scriptwriter Danny, various uses of the word "allegedly", and so forth.

At one point back in March, he was doing a show concerning unusual products when the scriptwriter, Danny, made a joke about no one wanting to buy a product with the wrong name, such as a perfume called "Rotting Turtle". Simon took this as a challenge and said that he would do so - without, of course, having any idea of how; it was just simply an off-the-cuff remark. (I left a comment that Rotting Turtle sounded like a village in Dorset.)

Well, now...it's happened. :o Yes, a viewer in California who specializes in toiletry manufacturing saw a business opportunity and here we are.

It's a unisex fragrance, as opposed to the "fragrance for men" envisioned in the original video, and is described as "citrusy" and "not at all like a rotting turtle". :plug:

Quite pricey as well (though I generally do not spend money on perfume, so I don't have a clear idea what such things run for), but it is at least partly worth it for the sheer joy of telling people who enjoy your scent what you are actually wearing. :D

@CrazyCraftLady did some quick research and realized that Rotting Turtle isn't all that expensive when compared to other perfumes, though it is basically $50 for a 100 ml bottle.

As well, the same toiletries entrepreneur also invented Beard Blaze, a beard oil for Simon to flog, as his beard became rather epic during the pandemic.

There's also the usual assortment of t-shirts and such...seriously considering one that says "aLEGENDly"...
