As if a bolt from the blue, I remembered today that Rexona's advertising tagline was always, ""won't let you down". Funny, really, because I use it, and it lets me down every single day.

The advertising for deodorant always features some terribly buff person being highly energetic in an athletic manner. The inference is that even THEY don't smell after all this exertion!

I walk across the city to work, and when I arrive I'm almost always a lather of sweat, and heading towards a bit niffy (the walk home finishes me off). Admittedly, I do it quite quickly, because beautiful as this city is, I am quite familiar with my route and rarely have cause to gawp (for exceptions to this rule, please see under "Krishna, Hare" and "conga lines, costumed"). Admittedly, also, I drink quite a bit of coffee, however I also drink enough water to float a beached whale, so there will be no finger-pointing at me for this issue.

The short version of this post is: fuck Rexona, I'm trying a different deoderant.
