Here's a man who has been using 'Close-up' brand of toothpaste for seven years in the hope of attracting a female. However, his hopes have been dashed and now he has decided to sue the brand as it has not aided him in attracting ladies with fresh smelling breath as the toothpaste ads suggest, according to Geobeats.
According to the 26-year-old man, Unilever Nigeria Limited has been sued and he has demanded that the company prove its claims with lab tests.
In the Close-up ads, women are shown flocking to men after they brush their teeth, Geobeats says.
Athony Olatunfe says: "No girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though Im sure they could smell my breath. I always brush my teeth with so much close up gel to make sure the girls get turned on by my fresh breath as they usually show on TV."
The aggrieved man has submitted all of his used, half-used and unused tubes to the court as evidence.
Unliever has been accused of 'cheating' and causing him 'mental anguish'.
Maybe it's the "Gilligan" hat.
Oh wow... saw that and the first thing I thought was lowbridge scam baiting the Nigerian scammers. He has some epics tales.
“He should change brands and start using Ultra Bright. That brand gives you sex appeal! “
Both Close Up and Ultra Bright were premium reactions to Crest and Colgate in the 60s & 70s. Now they are Dollar Store brands.
Regarding the merits of the case, I learned my lesson when I was 8 snd discovered that Lifebuoy soap doesn’t really let you walk two feet in the air.
“close-up” cannot overcome goat.
That dude is 26 ?!?
no way!
He looks like Evander Holyfields older cousin
I guess so.
That’s just the pic I found that matched the story.
(It had similar text and the source wasn’t on the “bad” list, so I guess that’s him.)
Maybe not getting the chicks makes you age prematurely.
Hubba Hubba!
I’ll be right over! ;-)
Everyone knows f you want to attract women you have to use Hai Karate..

But it will give you a bad case of "Soap Poisoning."
Sposed to be certified, too!
Finally! It’s about time somebody sued for such blatant false advertising!
Yeah, but they don't SAY that women will flock to you.
It's different from when I drink a Coke, and a volleyball game between twenty-somethings in swimsuits breaks out.
Has he watched any American beer commercials yet?
I almost did that to the folks who made Brylcreem. It was the ads saying, “Brylcreem, a little dab’ll do ya, all the girls’ll pursue ya” that made me use it. %0 years and no hair later and it never worked - one of these days I’ll get rid of the 3 cases I still have from the mother lode I amassed with thoughts of being surrounded by all the girls.
If he wins, Axe is in big trouble...
I remember when I was young, I splashed on Hai Karate and waited... ;)
