Forget Mr. Clean
In Germany, the well-known, confident bald guy boasts an even better designation: Meister Proper!
Cute, no?

LOL! I love it! "Master Proper" They turned up Mr. Clean a notch!
My French colleague tells me the same guy is on the bottles in France also. She started to sing the French advertising jingle--yep, it's the same advert from the US. Good cross-cultural marketing they've done.
Yep, nothing says proper like a bald head and an earring, I always say.
I went to school with a large, bald German. Naturally, he was Meister Proper for Halloween.
Hmmm...he looks familiar!
Is that something people clean with? ( ha ha )
that's awesome!
I always point to that stuff and say to my kids "Look, it's Mr. Clean!" and they, being half German and all, say "Huh? Who's Mr. Clean? That's Meister Proper!"
I love how things we grew up with in N.America are called something completely different elsewhere in the world. Mr. Proper. It sounds vagulely naughty. :p
Ha! I love that-- translations crack me up!
Does Meister Proper kill Rubella? Just curious...
