- "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific Shampoo & Conditioner were originally manufactured in the mid-1970's by Jergens. They were heavily advertised in the USA with the familiar phrase "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!" A lot of people remember seeing those ads, and also remember having people tell them how terrific their hair smelled when they used "Gee". Gee was still available into the 1980's, but in the early to mid 80's Jergens stopped making "Gee", so it was no longer available. It was no longer available in the USA that is! |
