You can use the third stick anywhere you want.

I'm guessing it dries out and crumbles. Or.... it becomes toxic and eats through your skin.

I use a salt stick. They last forever, and no industrial smelling perfumes.

Yes, keep drinking that two week old milk.

My plea was to start using your own senses rather than depending on manufacturers. Two week old milk may indeed be perfectly fine. If you are unable to determine if a product is safe without a "use by" date then take your protein pills and strap your helmet on.

food and drugs have expiration dates because the chemicals they are made of are not stable forever. when pills get old, the amount of active ingredient left in the dose is a fraction of that intended, or an ingredient can decompose into something toxic. with something like deodorant or anti-perspirant, i would expect separation of the active ingredients and their suspension to occur.

Some things don't really expire. Aspirin's good for years after the posted date. You also have to take the time factor into account. Take deodorant for example. That probably has a sell by date that's at least 2 years into the future. Can the manufacturer say that it'll be bad the day after that date passes? Of course not. They won't cut it that close, because some product will expire before the date, and some after. They leave enough room for error to ensure that *none* of the product will be bad by the sell by date. Of course some things just plain don't matter. Deodorant? What the hell's that going to do to you if it goes off?

Read the 1st reply in this thread.

I guess a while back I was stockpiling deodorant for the apocalypse or something, because I have three extra sticks, and each has an expiration date that's passed.

Does deodorant, or the ingredients "go bad?" It'd suck to have to throw out three unopened sticks, but it's suck more to expect it to work and discover halfway through my day that I stink.

Update us please...WHAT HAPPENED?

 

[JEDIYoda]

What happens when deodorant expires?? Well duh...it expires!!!!

 

[sdifox]

Update us please...WHAT HAPPENED?

Why necro this?

 

[zinfamous]

Why necro this?

Maybe Lady Snow was born of the toxic flesh and vapor cloud that was created when OP used his expired deodorant, 10 years ago (like Aphrodite, emerging from the flotsom created by the pierced testicle of Poseidon), and she is just now on the internet, looking for her daddy.

 

[Captante]

Why necro this?

Why indeed?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Confirmed, if you use 10+ year expired deodorant, it burns the flesh!

I used old deoderant and then went out into the sun.

Somehow, my neck, shoulders, and top part of my head got burned from the deoderant, even though I only put the deoderant on my arm pits.

I'm embarrassed to say I just checked the date on a Speed stick I've had for a while. It expired back in 2002. I threw it out.

That's older than this thread, way older....and then there's this accusatory post from 2009, assumed to be hanging onto the same well-expired stick of deodorant at that time:

The then girlfriend bought it, but it made my pits burn if I used it more than a day. I kept it as a spare, but had no idea that deodorant expired.

 

[Scarpozzi]

I don't know what deodorant is made of, but the waxiness texture used to dry out more readily. I can assume if the product got really old, it may not have the right texture and crumble apart.... Especially if it's exposed to cold or slight heat (not enough to liquify). I can understand if they put a one to two-year shelf life on it for inventory and quality control. Since you bought it already, the date shouldn't mean anything to you if the product is good.

Obviously the OP died from the results
