No Smell Deodorant

I've done some stupid things in my life, but a recent purchase is right up there. I like Tom's natural products, and use their toothpaste and deodorant. I usually buy the peppermint toothpaste with no fluoride, and the apricot-scented deodorant.

When I ran out of my deodorant, I decided to try a different scent. I went to the store and noticed one labeled "for sensitive skin", (hey, aren't guys supposed to embrace that?) but more remarkable was that it was "scentless". I was intrigued. How could a deodorant be scentless? I had to buy it to find out.

I found out. The scentless deodorant does nothing. Duh. It covers up stink with somebody's imagination. What a joke.


No Smell Deodorant, Part II
Guys don't read the instructions. Or fine print. Well, I finally did look at the back of the deodorant, figuring there had to be a reason for no scent. It turns out that the stuff contains hops, which is supposed to prevent bacteria from growing (yuck, an armpit full of bacteria?) of which I have no proof, but I'm still using the deodorant, and I don't think I stink much. At least my wife hasn't complained!
