The smell of the road April 4, 2009

This apparently aired on Israeli television — an ad for Route 66 cologne, from Coty.
Much of the footage was shot at Roy’s, on Route 66 in Amboy, Calif.
I think Coty quit making it. It’s no longer listed on Coty’s Web site, and it’s out of stock at many online retailers.
Here’s a description:
This masculine scent posesses a blend of: Fruits, woods and tobacco make up this manly aroma. It is recommended for romantic wear.
Add the smell of chicken wings and beer, and you’ll be at the Luna Cafe — not always a bad thing.
I grinned when I read this, because the Luna Cafe was one of my most memorable stops on my short Route 66 trip with my cousin. We still laugh about it. When I ordered the taco salad, the waiter (also the cook) said, “Aww, you don’t want that.” When I asked what I should order, he said, “Come on back to the kitchen” and showed me what he could make me. I think I ended up having a chicken sandwich. It was a fun evening!
