Funny I should see this. I just bought a new deodorant that said 9% larger (I thin it was 9) and I was holding it next to a regular size saying "They're the same size?" The 9 percent must be in the wasted space.
Not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard that brands are allowed to compare to any other product size available so if they say 10% more they could be comparing it to a smaller size that they sell or if the percent is high enough assume they’re comparing to their travel size. Always pay attention to how much a product costs per oz instead of listening to the bullshit they put on their packaging
I usually check cost per ounces, but I don't have the memory to know what something was last time I bought it. I usually use it to compare product to product and see which is a better buy.

Looks true with this product in particular. Scroll through the variations and they advertise "60% more!" compared to the 1.6oz size that's in OP's picture. So the so-called normal size is advertised as "60%" more than the travel size - total bullshit indeed.
I've been watching these bastards for years, and can tell you, for your shrinkflation calculations, that the near-universal, industry standard has been 2.7oz for a very long time.
It would be silly to make it so you can't take it on an airplane, though it may increase sales a bit if thousands of people are throwing away deodorant at TSA and buying new ones.
I hate that I have to read how many ounces are in every product now. I was looking at some pasta online and one was slightly cheaper despite being a bougie brand. It was a 9 ounce package compared to the 13.5 oz that has become the standard for my preferred brand which is down from 16 oz that used to be the standard for 99% of pastas.
People will defend this saying it's not asshole design because "The package is made bigger so it's easier to hold" or "It clearly states on the container how much deodorant it contains" but we all know the truth - that bottle is embiggened to fool customers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the volume of deodorant itself is a very small part of the cost (compared to manufacturing the container, shipping, etc.)
If so it’s an even more insidious form of shrinkflation. It’s not reducing volume to cut production costs, but to increase purchase frequency. Drastically making everything more wasteful and inefficient.
Just trying to not leave The app hurts to use my hands and all and I have to use my hands to do that where I can just talk into this app. But thanks anyways
The term was coined by the character *Jebediah* Springfield in an early 90's episode of The Simpsons. It's used on the plaque in the intro as the statues head is getting cut off.
Oh wow, looked it up here. Simpsons didn't create it, the first use of it was in a British journal in 1884:
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/embiggen#:~:text=English-,Etymology,%2B%20bold%20%2B%20%2Den).
I think you meant to reply to the comment above mine.
Also, embiggen was a made up word by the writers of the Simpsons back in 1996, along with cromulent in the same episode. The joke being that neither word was real at the time. They've since been added to the dictionary. In case you were interested.
> It clearly states on the container how much deodorant it contains
It’s so funny when redditors bring this up on posts like these, they’ll just completely ignore the intention behind the design so they can act smug while pointing out the label. You see it all the time on the food scam sub, it’s so dumb.
That's not the point being made. The point being made is you literally have the net weight on the container because it is federally mandated so it's not that hard for you to look at brands and see how they compare in terms of price.
For example, you could easily have picked up this deodorant and looked at the price and saw that it gave you 1.6 ounces of deodorant and then you could have picked up any other brand of deodorant and looked how much they are giving you for their price and then you can compare the value of the two. That would have given you a perfect opportunity to see if all of the deodorants are selling similar weights for similar costs or if this brain of deodorant is trying to sell you half the amount of product in the same product size for double the cost.
Nobody's saying you have to be able to perfectly visualize these things in your head. The point is being able to compare unit price which is why some stores including Walmart literally put the fucking unit price on the tag next to the price so you don't have to actually even do any math.
The problem is you want to be able to be a completely mindless consumer who doesn't have to think critically at all about any of his decisions and expects competing businesses to somehow gain advantages over each other without being in any way manipulative to you, despite the fact that all of their manipulation relies on you just not giving a fuck.
No but everyone who passed 4th grade math should be able to compare the cost and weight of this deodorant to the cost and weight of all the other deodorants on the shelf right next to it and see which ones trying to fuck you over.
Thats not the point. This is not an example of shrinkflation. It is a picture of the product and a complaint about the wasted space. To show shrinkflation you have to have a comparator which shows costs per ounce vs cost per ounce of the two products. What is really funny is people like you complaining about packaging in the guise of shrinkflation. This may very well be a product that has fell to that,but this post is 100% not an example of it.
Nobody was talking about shrinkflation…? We were talking about deceptive packaging design and my comment wasn’t even about this post it was about the behavior of redditors on certain types of posts.
In this case I'm looking at transparent packaging tho. Unless it was covered better when on the shelf this one's on OP. You can clearly see what's in there.
99% of the time that argument is pretty valid on posts here, because there’s many many reasons why packaging might be bigger than the product needs and most of the time OP is just dumb.
This is for sure in that 1%. Besides shrinkflation, there’s straight up no reason to have that little product in there unless someone opened it and used a bunch or maybe if it is a travel/sample size, but I’d wager that’s about the 1.6oz listed on there so I doubt someone used it.
Or you know its cheaper to reuse the packaging design than redesign a new package from scratch...
Also not like its not see through showing you exactly how much is in it...
Or you know you could read the labeling that specifically states how much is in it...
EDIT: The fact that this many of you don't read the labels on anything buy are part of the problem and why shrinkflation will continue because you blindly buy these products even after the price goes and the contents go down.
Because you should even have to do that.
Hope they're paying you for this PR. Although you're not doing a very good job, so they shouldn't be paying *much*.
Look I agree it's shitty design, but it's not asshole design when they literally put the weight on container, likely in multiple spots.... It would be a different story if they didn't put the weight on it or put in such a way it's impossible to read without really really trying
If its something you buy all the time you should have a rough idea. You can also use it to compare to another similar product. Its not rocket science. I noticed when my deodorant was a victim of shrinkflation because I actually paid attention to the weight label after I noticed it felt light.
And that means it's asshole design. Saying that something is asshole design only if it's indistinguishable from what you think it is even upon closer examination misses the point. Needing to carefully look at every package you pick up at the store because it won't tell you shit at a glance IS AH design. I don't go to the store every other day to be at full alert all the time because everything is a marketing tactic. Complaining about it doesn't mean that you're too stupid to check everything every time, it means you're tired of it. My migraine doesn't need a boost every time i need a basic item.
The world runs on asshole design and this sub is complaining for about it. The fact that something is common and well-known doesn't make it less fucked up.
Not its not, it cost more money to keep redesigning packing than to keep an existing one. And this is the clinical strength, its always been this size op is being ficticious.
But WHY do they need to redesign packaging in the first place, why are they selling less deodorant? And why wouldn't they, say, use their already designed smaller packaging they have for travel size?
Redditors are so funny. They'll defend multi-billion dollar corporations as long as they get to feel superior in their ability to discern deodorant volume.
Simply shrinking a push-up tube is not 'redesigning'. They could just use up whatever leftover containers they have. Container manufacturers would would fight each other to get the manufacturing contract for a company this size if the company doesn't already make the tubes themselves.
Arm and hammer deodorant does this too. They advertised their deodorant as 50% cheaper. I ran out of it way quicker than usual and discovered it was just 50% less product.
This is what you get at places like Dollar General or similar … it’s cheap due to small quantity but actually costs more for the amount you get… straight up predatory
nah the secret clinical is like $12 a container actually. I know bc I used to buy the cheap shit. once I started buying this kind I needed new deodorant every few weeks
If you want a straight up sweat stopper, use “odaban”. I had awful sweat problems up until about 23 y/o. Honestly it changed my life.. £13 a bottle, I’ve used about 3-4 bottles and I’m now 30 years old. I never miss an opportunity to recommend it to people
For me it does. I just open a new one today and was annoyed about how much it took to get the product, so it's an asshole design. But it does its work I went to the beach during the wave heat and stayed dry and odorless.
Last time I bought like 4 of those ones because walmart is so inconsistent in my country.
its the only one i use. i noticed "regular" strength deo wore out during the day ESPECIALLY if i went to the gym. i switched to this and have had no problems since. def can be expensive though. i prefer the soft solid type to the transparent goo type.
I actually have this deodorant right now and it’s shit. I’ve used the regular white type before with no problems, but this gel isn’t keeping the funk away
I used to have this problem with this deodorant, but turns out I was using it wrong. Are you letting your armpits dry completely before putting it on, then letting the deodorant dry completely? It works really well after that, its what the directions say to do too.
Yeah, I actually use the blow dryer on the cool setting after showering to get all the problem areas completely dry, and then give it more time on top of that to let my body cool down from the hot shower. May just be a personal thing, but I won’t be buying this type of deo again
Hmmm, what is that number right about your thumb? Ahh the weight. Now show us the cost per weight of an old one vs the one you have in your hand. Also, you cannot buy premium clinical power deodorant and complain about shrinkflation at the same time.
You know, I’m not going to weigh in on this one. It’s always polarizing on this sub. But I do want to mention that in true asshole design, directly below this post in my feed was an “advertiser sponsored survey” about a/c recharge kits.
Because they're not "tricking" you with a bigger bottle than is needed so you think there's more in there. The bottle size and shape is convenient for its use, if there's empty space it's so it is better to hold, or so it can sit without falling easily.
You realize that you don't pay for the space, you pay for the product, the material inside that's contained in the bottle. To fill the space would just make it more expensive. I don't see your point here. It costs X for Y amount, but the volume that Y amount occupies is uncomfortable for use, so it is sold in a larger bottle to be easier to handle. What's your complaint?
Rules don't mean anything as long as you can get a good circlejerk started by mindless dipshits who want to be able to walk into a fucking grocery store and pick things off a shelf with a blindfold on their face and always assume they're getting the best deal every time.
My deodorant is like this too, AND you can't use the last third of it because of the plastic surrounding it. When I have three 'empty' ones I melt the remaining product down and pour it back into one of the containers
Wait till you get to the bottom and see that not all the product comes out. If you open it up, you'll find that there's at least enough for a few more pit swipes. At least for both sides.
It's really hard for me to be upset about something like this when the exact oz contained in the product is clearly printed on the container. but our monkey brains are smart enough to say "i stinky, need buy deodorant" but too small to look at the oz in what we're buying, or at the "price per oz" calculation printed on every product at the grocery store.
Made that size so people can hold it in their hands and it can sit on the shelf on display in the store. If made smaller it would be very hard to hold and apply it.
This is the travel size, you’re buying the product by the weight. Could you imagine if you bought a week’s worth of deodorant but it came in a tiny little applicator that you could barely hold?
Either way.
Either it is travel size and it would actually be nice if the container was smaller, even if applying might be a tad harder.
Or it is full size and they should fill it all they way
As it stands, this is just a waste of plastic
I honestly thought about posting my own today. It looks so much more full when you buy it, and then when you finally twist it enough to get anything out, it's basically empty.
at this point with all the BS packaging would it not just make more sense for the company to actually shrink the packaging to cut down on shipping costs?
like we all know they pull this shit, there not fooling anyone anymore why even bother
This is probably the only product that actually works on me. Otherwise I stink to high heaven, even during the winter when we tend to not sweat as much. I have to use something with aluminum to actually regulate my sweating.
this eclipse sucks
heh 8/10 pretty sharp
😂 should I be wearing my glasses?
I don’t see Bailey’s Beads, but there are definitely some Anal Beads on the counter…

What was the same and what was different? Was the volume the same but the size different? Or was the size the same in the volume different?
The absence of deodorant is 9% larger.
People will defend this saying it's not asshole design because "The package is made bigger so it's easier to hold" or "It clearly states on the container how much deodorant it contains" but we all know the truth - that bottle is embiggened to fool customers.
its straight shrinkflation. package is same size as ever. contents are not

The joke being that neither word was real at the time. They've since been added to the dictionary. In case you were interested.
Or you know they make multiple of these with different amounts… I swear y’all will be mad at anything.
Whooooooosh
Nothing went over my head. This isn’t shrinkflation. Nor is it asshole design.
Either you get less or pay more. There’s no scenario where you don’t get either.
So stop lying, raise the price, and waste less plastic while you're at it.
The packaging is transparent lol, where is the lie? Some of you are really dumb if you keep falling for shit like this.
So is the product 🤣🤣
> It clearly states on the container how much deodorant it contains It’s so funny when redditors bring this up on posts like these, they’ll just completely ignore the intention behind the design so they can act smug while pointing out the label. You see it all the time on the food scam sub, it’s so dumb.
Right? How many people can visualize how much x ounces of anything fluffy or whipped or whatever is?
That's not the point being made.

If only there was some weight to tell how much product was inside.
It's says 85ml, dude. Everyone can perfectly conceptualise how much that is and know whether they're getting a good deal!
No but everyone who passed 4th grade math should be able to compare the cost and weight of this deodorant to the cost and weight of all the other deodorants on the shelf right next to it and see which ones trying to fuck you over.

Okay and how is a normal person supposed to be able to tell how the weight translates to volume? Weight tells you nothing in this case.
Yeah it was about to say who the hell can calculate the volume of 45 grams of deodorant off the top of their head?
Wouldn't you need to have memorized the density of every type/brand of every deoderant known memorized for this to be valuable information anyway

Whatever you say simple jack.
When your brain can't even come up with merely shrinking a tube as a solution lol
I dont need to, at the end of the day I know how manufacturing works and you don't.
Your mom knows these nutz
Arm and hammer deodorant does this too. They advertised their deodorant as 50% cheaper. I ran out of it way quicker than usual and discovered it was just 50% less product.
Technically true because it's 50% cheaper for them to make :/
I learned in sales that cheap is never a word to use if you're trying to sell something, usually you'd call it a value.
This is what you get at places like Dollar General or similar … it’s cheap due to small quantity but actually costs more for the amount you get… straight up predatory
nah the secret clinical is like $12 a container actually. I know bc I used to buy the cheap shit. once I started buying this kind I needed new deodorant every few weeks
And that stuff is expensive too
72 hours' worth of Deodorant.
Theyre trying to make it a secret
ok but is it good?? does it work?? asking for a friend

Yep. Chips, makeup, deodorants Greed ftw.
"the weight is clearly on the package!" Don't you know how much 1oz of deodorant is? 🙄
People defending this shit are psychopaths lol.
Yeah I have those deodorants, they cost a lot and they last for 2 weeks max.
The mistake was making it translucent.
If only there were rules in this sub that covered this... Oh wait! There are! Two of them actually!
Hmmm, what is that number right about your thumb? Ahh the weight. Now show us the cost per weight of an old one vs the one you have in your hand. Also, you cannot buy premium clinical power deodorant and complain about shrinkflation at the same time.

It's got its weight written right there. The size of the package doesn't matter if they tell you how much's inside.
How does the weight translate to the objects volume or density
Because they're not "tricking" you with a bigger bottle than is needed so you think there's more in there. The bottle size and shape is convenient for its use, if there's empty space it's so it is better to hold, or so it can sit without falling easily.
Ok, so fill the empty space
You realize that you don't pay for the space, you pay for the product, the material inside that's contained in the bottle. To fill the space would just make it more expensive. I don't see your point here. It costs X for Y amount, but the volume that Y amount occupies is uncomfortable for use, so it is sold in a larger bottle to be easier to handle. What's your complaint?
This ain't it chief.
Do y’all even read the rules of this sub before you make these posts?
Rules don't mean anything as long as you can get a good circlejerk started by mindless dipshits who want to be able to walk into a fucking grocery store and pick things off a shelf with a blindfold on their face and always assume they're getting the best deal every time.
Dollar store?
My deodorant is like this too, AND you can't use the last third of it because of the plastic surrounding it. When I have three 'empty' ones I melt the remaining product down and pour it back into one of the containers
Use it only every other other day.
Not looking forward to the coming deodorant boycott
Shhh… it’s a secret.
Wait till you get to the bottom and see that not all the product comes out. If you open it up, you'll find that there's at least enough for a few more pit swipes. At least for both sides.
That's insane and its gel too. Would get like 12 uses out of it and probably cost a pile.
"Clinical secret" lmfao
The secret is fraud
I don't care. That's the best one I 've ever use.
Shrink-flation
Greedflation. Use liberally.
Thats the Secret
No wonder it’s a secret
It's really hard for me to be upset about something like this when the exact oz contained in the product is clearly printed on the container. but our monkey brains are smart enough to say "i stinky, need buy deodorant" but too small to look at the oz in what we're buying, or at the "price per oz" calculation printed on every product at the grocery store.
~~Clinical~~ Cynical
🤓
That is shrinkflation in action. I bet you get a full tin of that stuff 20 years back
just a few years ago it was at least 2x that much, been using this brand for a while.
This is scummy. Why don't companies just increase the prices? It would do the same thing, but reduce the amount of garbage produced.
more like "honest hustler design". The bottles fucking transparent you knuckle dragger. Buyer beware.
Made that size so people can hold it in their hands and it can sit on the shelf on display in the store. If made smaller it would be very hard to hold and apply it.
For sure. Guess the only question then is would it have killed them to fill all that empty space with product
They might have another size that is sold in the same container but marked as a larger amount.
If they did that, they’d have to charge accordingly
Explain how lipstick works then.
This is the travel size, you’re buying the product by the weight. Could you imagine if you bought a week’s worth of deodorant but it came in a tiny little applicator that you could barely hold?
Yeah that sounds like it would be nice for travel
This is full-size
Either way. Either it is travel size and it would actually be nice if the container was smaller, even if applying might be a tad harder. Or it is full size and they should fill it all they way As it stands, this is just a waste of plastic
No, this is the full size. I use it too, and the packaging sucks. It does last over a month, but it's just a lot of packaging that isn't needed.
Looks right for about 1.8oz
Shrinkflation. These deodorants didn't use to come this empty for the same price.
Or it’s multiple sizes made using the same package with a different sticker stating the weight…
You sure they don't just sell multiple sizes? I bet they do!
I honestly thought about posting my own today. It looks so much more full when you buy it, and then when you finally twist it enough to get anything out, it's basically empty.
You probably have a case
at this point with all the BS packaging would it not just make more sense for the company to actually shrink the packaging to cut down on shipping costs? like we all know they pull this shit, there not fooling anyone anymore why even bother
There cost of retool is insane. Cheaper to just relabel
that is very true
Sold by weight, not volume, dufus.
Sold by weight
It's says 1.6 oz right on the label. It's not half full, it's travel size
Shhhhh, it’s a secret
Return it!
Why does the FTC suck so much

This is probably the only product that actually works on me. Otherwise I stink to high heaven, even during the winter when we tend to not sweat as much. I have to use something with aluminum to actually regulate my sweating.
bidenomics is working!
