    Sounds like if I moved to the south every trip to the store would be a guaranteed sale.

          You should try east texas. It was a running joke in Austin how badly the mexican names for things were butchered. A few examples:

          Guadalupe --> gwadda-loop
          Manchaca --> man-shack

          More examples:

              Even the Puerto Ricans butcher the name. I've heard both "Puelto Lico" and "porterico" from real live Boricuas.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      Maybe I should start a "what deodorant do you use?" thread. Similar to "what cereal do you eat?"

                      I got this little sample of deodorant spray in the mail today from Unilever. No idea why they sent it or how I got on their mailing list.

                      I'm not a spray-on deodorant guy, I'm a clear-gel man. I had a roomie at BYU that used to spray massive amounts of deodorant on his pits and it left a lingering cloud in the bathroom that took a while to dissipate. Sprays just aren't my thing.

                      Anyway, I decided to spray a little on the back of my hand to see what it smelled like. Holy cow - it's some seriously strong perfume! My wife and daughter both said, "Whoah, that's strong!"

                      If you are the kind that likes really strong scented deodorant or really strong scented cologne, you might want to give it a try.

                        That's weird, I use the stick version of this. Not just Dove, but the Dove "Clean Comfort" version, and the reason I do is that I hate scented antiperspirant and it is about the most neutral one I can find.

                          I don't like antiperspirants at all. Give me a good deodorant. Perspiration has never been a problem that I've had to deal with.

                              Gotta disagree, bro. I rank the deodorant/antiperspirant types as follows (best to worst)

                              Clear gel stick
                              Invisible solid stick (I'm OK with switching between the clear gel stick and the invisible solid stick based on whatever my wife happens to buy at the store)
                              White solid stick
                              Roll-on
                              Spray/aerosol

                              Apparently there are also deodorant wipes, "natural deodorant crystals", and "vegan deodorant cream" as well, but I've never seen these strange things or known any weirdos that use them.

                              I will add that I'm grateful the vast majority of Americans know about, and choose to use, deodorant/antiperspirant. The Brits on the other hand...

                                I’m one of the weirdos that used the crystal. It seems to work as long as I’m not doing any public speaking. While I have grown out of my nervousness for public speaking, my armpits think I’m still a 14 year old teacher with a 2 minute sacrament talk.

                                Anyways, I want my deodorant to be as scent-free as possible. I then spray some cologne on my undershirt so that I choose the scent for the day, and it’s not overpowering to others.
