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.

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?
Update us please...WHAT HAPPENED?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.
Why necro this?
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.
You're the stinky guy at your job, aren't you?
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.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:
