Shit from Shinola consisted of a display of objects of daily use with politically incorrect undertones. One of these objects was a deodorant spray named 'Africa' by the brand Axe.
"He doesn't know shit from Shinola" was a popular saying in the 1940's that attested the poor judgement of someone who, metaphorically, couldn't tell the difference between shit and the popular shoe polish brand Shinola.
