I dropped that brand when they were sold to Colgate in 2006.
I stopped at the same time when their deodorant suddenly gave me severe chemical burns. Many people complained and nothing ever happened. Fuck Colgate.
This has literally happened to me with all the brands I used to buy. Sold to a huge international company and the product skyrockets in price and plummets in quality. I actually changed to Arm & Hammer Essentials Deodorant and it's better than Tom's. Quite a shock for a large company.
I tried theirs and it just didn't last the whole day... Went through a ton of "natural" ones, even went on Etsy and tried some coconut oil and arrowroot based ones. They all sucked. Bulldog had one that was excellent, but they stopped selling it in the US. Native's has been actually decent. Been using it for a couple years now. Works all day unless I'm really working hard. Also, I get to smell like cake.
Didn’t know they were bought by Colgate. What brand do you use now?
See my reply above. A&H.
I dropped that brand immediately after using it once because it tastes like shit.
Look at the big balls on Brad!
