Shrinkflation at its finest.

No, this is just the dollar store travel version and they didn't want to resize the bottle. Normal deodorant is more like 3 oz. My spray sure deodorant is 6 oz

That being said it's still a rip off

This makes the most sense actually.

Totally misleading due to the bottle size. I've purchased travel overpriced deodorant and it was a half stick anyway.

But the point of a travel size isn’t the amount of product, but the size of the container. This is beyond stupid, before we even get into the unnecessary plastic waste

I bought a 2 pack of Gel Deodorant recently before flying, put them in my carry on with whatever else I brought. TSA didn't care to check the sizes as it went through the scanner. It might not matter as much as we are told.

I mean... it's not a liquid...

I always do solid deodorant. Never thought about that...

Gel is a liquid.

Gel is a thick liquid.

Gel is a thiquid.

Dayum girl you Thiquid.

Last I saw dynamite was made in gel form. Seems more pertinent than liquid in a way. I actually was going to leave them, my mother convinced me to leave their place and fly home with them. Said to myself I will just chuck them in the trash if they had a problem with it.
