Hall of fame · 📉 Deflated · 2012
The Gym Medusa. Once smelled like the club. Now just the locker room. Aurélien Guichard poured cold mint and apple over vanilla-tonka syrup, and for five years the blue Medusa bottle was every club night's default. Then it was everywhere: discounter shelves, flankers, quieter batches. The crowd handed down its verdict — "gym bro" — third in the holy trinity of basic. Fair: it didn't get worse, it got obvious. Deflated: it hasn't changed since 2012 — and "unchanged" now reads as "didn't even try."
