Intercultural fascination #560
Deodorant.
Sometime back in the 90's, when the anti-CFC backlash was happening in North America, they stopped selling spray deodorant. Chloroflorocarbons in the atmosphere for the sake of dry armpits? Switch 'em all to solids and roll-ons, the producers said. Except somewhere along the line roll-on deodorant disappeared too, and now for all intents and purposes, in a Canadian drugstore, it's solids or au naturel.
But not here. I'm happy to report that spray deodorant is alive and well.
I was reluctant to embrace it at first, but now I will never turn back. Not only is it less annoying for your skin and clothes, it's FUN to put on! Pppsssssshhhhhhtt! Pppsssssshhhhhhttt!
This is what intercultural exchange is really about.
