It's actually way easier to be deceptive with gel deodorants, since the amount of air included in the mixture is almost impossible to see with the naked eye, plus impossible to weigh accurately even if you push it all out.

[@WardenWolf]

One thing to factor in on "wasted space": the deodorant needs to be nested slightly below the top to account for the plastic seal. Also, there is some variation in the drive mechanism and package molding so not all of them can necessarily go down all the way effectively. When buying, though, it is important to remember that it takes a lot more antipersperant than deodorant to do the same job. It goes on thicker and doesn't spread as well, so an equivalent-sized package won't last as long. Unless you REALLY need antipersperant properties, you're better off going with deodorant, both for longevity and your skin health.

Hint: Deodorant sticks don't prevent you from sweating, deodorants control the smell associated with sweat but not the actual sweating part. Antiperspirants however do, they block the sweat glands but, yes, there's a but, the water will have to come out of your body somehow and that somehow is by coming out from another place like your chest or your back.

[@michaels67thoughts]

Good video. Nice explanation of packaging differences. Thanks for clarifying zeroing the scale. Good printed info cards. Cutting open the Arm&Hammer package (you probably realized later, too bad you didn't state it) was unnecessary. Rather than total weight/size of the deodorant, I would like to have seen the weight/size of the "usable" portion. I've experienced that the plunger from different brands operates differently. A brand I used to use had a plunger that was arched, the same as the top of the sleeve, and smooth. You could practically use the entire product. That reality adds a layer to the "value" proposition. Also, for apples-to-apples, maybe stick with the same type (solid vs. gel) of product. If you're going to do a "how well do they work" video, please include how much product you use. Some people do 1 or 2 swipes, others do a lot more. Also, if you felt that one brand/type required more product application than another for the same results - that would be interesting. Best wishes for continued success.

[@sourkraudy]

Great video, never knew I was curious about this but explained extremely well!

[@jordonjanuszewski1178]

I’ve also got a theory on another ploy of deception by deodorant companies: Have you ever used a deodorant once and left it for a time frame and come back to it to find that 1/3 to a 1/2 of it has shrunk down? I have... maybe it was my roommates stealing my deodorant, maybe it’s shrinking. Love to see a test on it, might just run it myself. I theorize that deodorant shrinks over time, evaporating within the packaging.

[@probablynotabigtoe9407]

It also depends on where you buy it. You should always pay attention to the oz measurement. Dollar stores are notorious for this practice.

[@frollard]

A tiny bit that makes sense from the thumbnail is the requirement for the plunger bit to have a length of threads below it so that the thread mechanism works without putting a hole through the cast deoderant block. Modern users don't like the hole down the middle, so they make it so there's only an inch of product with the extended mechanism to handle just an inch of threads. Old school ones had the threads go up into the product and had a relatively flat plunger such that it could engage the whole length. This is seriously half caused by focus groups saying they don't like the aesthetics of the thread hole going down the middle of their product.

[@LanceDaPsycho]

Quick heads up that "antiperspirants" (2.7 oz) typically contain less product than regular "deodorants" (3 oz). You would have to compare items that are the same size.
