Would a punk rock gorilla with snot coming out of his nose make you buy this hair gel?

Living in a border town has amazing benefits, such as access to wonderful people, cultural events, food(!), art, and...beauty products. Living close to the border has its advantages in terms of the vast array of Mexican beauty products that can easily be found at my local drugstores (deliciously-scented products by Grisi and Vanart immediately come to mind).

I was at my local Walmart yesterday when this rather unique display for a new Mexican hair gel line caught my eye:

Moco de Gorila Styling Gel (English translation: Gorilla Snot Styling Gel)

I have to be honest, at first I giggled, and then I kind of grossed out. But then again, I'm probably not the target demographic for this line (nowhere near it, I'm sure!) and I had to wonder if the average teenage boy might say, "Oh cool!" when he sees this in the haircare aisle.  

For me, it's kind of gross, yet so bizarre that I'm oddly drawn to it.  I had to open a bottle to see the product for myself, and it's a pretty thick, goopy gel that smells sweet and fruity.

In case you want more details, Moco de Gorila comes in three different strengths:

 Strong Hold 

 (See how this gorilla is kind of conservative and has his studious glasses on?)

 Mega Hold

(Uh oh. The glasses are off and he's rocking some piercings.)

Extreme Hold

(He's a full blown punk rocker now with a raging red Mohawk. This guy means business!)

See what I mean? It's kinda cute, kinda gross, kinda bizarre, and totally unique, right? I could easily see the snot-theme in candy (in fact, I think I've seen something similar to this manufactured by a US candy maker but it was in the form of edible candy "ear wax"--eeeeew!) but I don't think I've ever seen the "gross-out" concept applied to haircare products before. Have you?  As always, I'd love to know what you (or your 13-year-old teenage son, neighbor, cousin, etc.) think of Moco de Gorila!
