The manliest of manly zit creams beckons to young men across the world
June 26, 2012
Could they have picked a more MANLY name for this acne medication? “Tackle” suggests both fishing and football, two noted MANLY sporting pursuits. Surprised it didn’t come with a bottle of whiskey and a gun. Even the no-frills marketing suggests Spartan masculine simplicity.
You certainly wouldn’t mistake it for one of the 73(?) girly meds.

There’s also a British meaning for ‘tackle’ apart from fishing and football that makes this ad really hilarious.
Ay yes, the “meat and two veg” meaning.
