Saw the blocky bottles and then the name, which my brain instantly turned into “Jenga!” ?
Ha, excellent!
I think there is also a zegna clothing and sneaker collection called XXX, which is supposed to be aka “triple stitch”.
Aha! I thought XXX might be Xtra masculine for XX chromosome people. 😉
LOL — that too.
Our email filter at work used to flag XXX as dirty, not just on the email text but also within the innards of attached files. Who would have thunk?
