Sweaty teen athletes show team spirit.

Sideline teen cheerleaders stunts, fear it.

Ugly body-odor.

Better mask the smell with Teen Spirit.

Author's notes: Nostalgic for the 90s? Do you remember the grunge band Nirvana? If you do, you know the words to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." If not, you can listen to the song. It's linked below.

In the 90s, Mennen introduced a deodorant in various scents that they named Teen Spirt. Unaware that Teen Spirit was a deodorant, Cobain wrote the song for the Nevermind album.

For more about the History of the Teen Spirit deodorant, see the article below:
