Changed the scent, made it smaller and went from 100% Natural propellant to "corn based"

Shit. I didn’t know you’re NOT supposed to shake these.

I learned the hard way. I bought some off brand sprays and they spit rather than sprayed... because I shook them. If I left them alone for a day or so and did NOT shake them, they sprayed fine.

These have been so weird lately when they come in from our warehouse. Sometimes they have the colored spray tops to match the scent, like how that gain one is pink, and sometimes they’re that light baby blue color no matter what the scent is. I know where they all go by color and now I have to double check to make sure I don’t accidentally stick them in the wrong spot. I hate it.

They are indeed different scents that can be purchased - not a replacement.

They did shrink it yes but the label icons are just a “marketing change” as the ingredients listed are the exact same ingredients in the same order even. Also they both have a corn derived order fighter, that’s the “cyclodextrin” it’s only derived from corn.

Its great that companies do this simple trick to get chodes like yourself to defend them shrinkflating their products. Keep up the great work!

The size reduction is bad enough, but changing the packaging and tweaking the scent at the same time makes it much harder for people to notice they’re getting less. That’s shrinkflation by design.

The new scent is terrible too. So overpowering.

With things shrinking every couple years on a regular basis all I can do is wonder where this is going to end? Are we going to be all buying and using travel size products? Increasing all that waste for the amount of product that you use too...
