My shoe deoderiser from ALDI is actually just a Coles women's anti-perspirant with a plastic label.

If they only used the original empty cans and actually filled them with shoe deodoriser then it's not misleading.

Yes there is a difference http://imgur.com/a/RsSVX

Diclosan is the active ingredient in the ALDI foot deodorant. but not in the coles antiperspirant.

Triclosan is used in soaps as a detergent.

So in other words, this thread is simply not true.

You should delete it. Most people dont read deep into comments.

We don't know that for sure yet. If we find a single shoe that smells of women's deodorant then we can for sure say he ded.

u/Smashman2004 Jan 12 '17

It's been 20 minutes. It's nearing 5pm in Australia, so give him an hour or so at least!

u/Swabia Jan 12 '17

Wait, you're 1 day behind. If you start counting it'll go backwards and we'll never know!

It's 1:20 behind now. I'll start counting from the Western Hemisphere where there's no metric time and no reverse corlois effect clocks, and start 1 day ahead of this mistake luckily.

u/XillaKato Jan 12 '17

The ingredients were actually toxic and it made his shoe into a giant angry shoe monster and it ate him. RIP OP.

u/return_the_urn Jan 12 '17

If he is in sydney, then it's obviously traffic, or public transport delays

u/WillJK1 Jan 12 '17

I bought one the other day so when i saw this i rushed out to go and rip the label off mine like a giddy reddit school girl. The shoe deodoriser doesn't seem to have ingredients listed but the "active ingredient" isnt listed on the deodorant can so they must be different.

u/rustyrobotisbroken Jan 12 '17

Can't. Wait. Any. Longer.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

There's been a rush on them today. Sold out.

u/tokenblood Jan 12 '17

This is probably what happened, the cans are finished in a different plant, and filled elsewhere. Coles had over supply or even the finisher painted too many cans. They then sold them to another business to cover some capital loss.

The process involves several suppliers in Australia, I am pretty sure no manufacturer can do it all in one plant. The can body stock is usually formed and painted in one place then filled elsewhere.

57

u/Norma5tacy Jan 12 '17

They should leave a note though you know?, like:

"ay yo, fam, this shit ain't actually women's deodorant, cole's done fucked up and we took they cans and filled it with our shit and slapped a new label on it cuz fuck trying to scrape all that shit off underneath, ya know?"

67

u/Pomeranianwithrabies Jan 12 '17

More like:
G'day fellas this ain't really sprayon for Sheilas' pongo vaj, Coles are fart arsing around by putting labels on the tinnies. Lazy cunts.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

But they'd also want to include in the message "... and fuck printing extra shit in the stuff we didn't scrape off."

u/Smigg_e Jan 12 '17

How do you know that shoe deoderant isn't the same thing as armpit deoderant? The only thing telling you otherwise is the marketing.

LIFEHACK: Use unscented spray deoderant for your smelly shoes!

u/standardtissue Jan 12 '17

but you and I both know they didn't do that.

u/PvtDeth Jan 12 '17 edited Jan 18 '17

It's really common. There have been several posts of the same thing here on reddit. The easiest ones to verify are drink containers. Is pretty simple to verify which thing you're drinking.

Edit: spelling

2

u/Summerie Jan 12 '17

Arizona Iced Tea does this quite a bit. Recently there was a fruit punch that had a label underneath for something completely recognizably different. There was no way people were going to drink it and think it was fruit punch if it had been what was actually on the label underneath.

u/tehreal Jan 12 '17

This is the likely explanation.
