SPOILER ALERT 60% air!
Brand new…. I didn’t expect my deodorant to have more air than a bag of chips… won’t be getting this again.

Funny story about Dr. Squatch: About 10 years ago now they released this ad on social media talking about how according to the FDA their competition in the "men's soap" category wasn't even considered "soap" it was all legally considered "body wash". The implication the commercial gives is that Dr. Squatch is different and that it stands alone as the one and only true soap for men.
Problem is that according the the FDA Dr. Squatch soaps are "body washes" too. The FDA guidelines for what is and isn't a "true soap" are pretty extensive, and extend into how the company words specific things. Dr. Squatch was breaking more than a few of the guidelines, and their packaging admitted as much(as it rightfully said "body wash").
When I pointed this out to them on Twitter they immediately blocked me.
