Hmmmm.....sounds like this would make a good cologne. "Wear Chili Piquant on
that especially HOT date! You will arouse your date with a pleasantly
pungent aroma surrounding you spicing up that special evening. It will
arouse a pleasantly disturbing reaction in you date, yet you will seem
appealingly provocative. Don't leave home without it!"
Could be as big a hit as "The Beach" cologne produced by Kramerica
Enterprises.
