AdWeek reports that, “According to Nielsen data provided by Old Spice, overall sales for Old Spice body-wash products are up 11 percent in the last 12 months; up 27 percent in the last six months; up 55 percent in the last three months; and in the last month, with two new TV spots and the online response videos, up a whopping 107 percent."
If it's up 11% in 12 months, it could probably only be up 107% in a month if the sales had been negative in the interim so I think my
original suspicions seem credible.
