Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?

Looks like they reconsidered using the Spongebob typeface.

Enshittification at it again!

Here I read it as, "Aqua Beef".

Smell like sloppy steaks from Truffony's.

Do you mean "Cyprus" the country, or Cypress the type of tree?

I was thinking of Cyprus. But the last company I worked for bought a small business in Cypress, CA. and I conflated the two when I made the title.

Unlike reddit I am pretty sure we can edit titles on Lemmy

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

I thought about it, but I'm inclined to leave it. Especially because, unlike Reddit, Lemmy users are understanding... and I kind of like my retirement "joke."

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I didn't know about Cypress CA, but probably should have expected such.

Old Old Spice, meet the New Old Spice.

It ran out of aluminium too, poor thing.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does it smell the same? Maybe adventure smells like cypress.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Quite similar but it's hard to tell.

The smell reminds me little enough of a cypress, that I've gone in thinking it's related to Cypress California. But now that I think about it, it smells even less like a suburb of LA.

Maybe it smells like the rap group, Cypress Hill?

Well I think you bought "Aluminum Free," whereas the one on the left doesn't say that. That brand sells both aluminum-full snd aluminum-free.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The "aluminum full" one you are referring to is the antiperspirant deodorant, while the "aluminum free" one is just a deodorant.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Neither of these in the picture are antiperspirant deodorant.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

That's right.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

They were both aluminum free, one's just not labeled. I had to give up on antiperspirant a long time ago because it made my skin weird. Still, weirdly, kind of miss it though.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My takeaway is that Aluminum=adventure

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Like tent poles and aircraft ĥulls. Checks out

[–] rand_alpha19@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Continuous use of aluminum-based antiperspirant actually makes you sweat more overall, so OP probably made a good choice.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

I'm aware, and agree

Wait, what does your deodorant smell like? A...Qu- A what?
