It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They would have made a fortune on placing these in high school locker rooms.
What's funny is that you (and I) associate cologne with high school, but adult men were spraying that shit on themselves from like the 50s to the 90s. Then Axe Body Spray took over the youth market, and a lot of boys coming of age started reevaluating their life choices. Smoking in public also became rare, and generally people started smelling better without the need for fragrances.
I can't remember the last time I used cologne or smelled it on another person. But my laundry, shampoo, body wash, and beard balm all have their own fragrances.
I got a pretty bad fragrance allergy a few years ago and would break out in a big rash if I got them near my face. I think things are improving these days, but I was shocked at how much more sharp my sense of smell is now that almost nothing has artificial fragrances (save for deodorant, and some body soap that is like, made from ground up herbs). It's like someone whose senses are enhanced by losing one or more of them.
One of my siblings brought clothes laundered at his university, and the detergent was so cloying that I could taste it in the air, lol. Five years ago, I would barely have noticed it, because there was so much "noise" from the ~18 different scented products we all used on our bodies, clothes, air fresheners and bedding.
Even with fragrance-free stuff, everything still smells good. Just like cloth though, instead of artificial lemon or that blue-flavored dish soap. On the latter one, I've begun to taste it on dishes. I've since switched to fragrance-free dish soap because of that, lol.
Damned synaesthetics.
