What happens when deodorant expires?

[moonbit]

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.

It will burn off flesh after expiration

Try an expired stick and let us know moonbit.

First post. AT does not disappoint.

You would be both a scofflaw and an unfeeling and unkind bastard if you didn't give each stick of your recently expired deodorant tiny little deodorant funerals.

Obey ALL posted warnings, guidelines and signs. Remember, "NO RUNNING on the beach!"

Please stop believing in use by dates. They were created for one reason, to help sell more product.

Rofl :laugh:

The perfumes probably aren't as strong after that date, and that's probably about it.

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.

"Sell by" date.

Wow. I'm surprised that Jedi didn't start this thread.

 

[Itchrelief]

I wonder if fetishists in Japan sniff used women's deodorant sticks. Whoa, I can't believe I thought of that.

 

[arrfep]

Have a bite. If it tastes fine, don't worry about the expiration date.

 

[MoPHo]

Sometimes it'll dry out and start to crumble if the seal was broken and too much oxygen gets to it. Turns into a chalky substance if it's a white stick, never really found out with gel.

If it still smells like deodorant after the expiration date, go for it. I've used "expired" deodorant before and I'm still alive...granted I have seen an increase in my desire to post on AT...

 

[moonbit]

Damn, is ATOT bored tonight? I know it's Monday, but even the mods came out for this one. I'm flattered.

Well, when my current stick dies, which should be soon, I'll give one of the expired ones a try. I'll add a clause into my will that if something happens to me, someone will let ATOT know, so no one else will fall victim to expired deodorant.

Mmmmmm Chewy!

Fixed.

Just use one stick for each armpit. You'll use them all down at the same time.

You can use the third stick anywhere you want.
