If anyone can explain how it can be 3.3 ounces in the new can and 3.6 in the old while grams and millilitres remain the same i would love to know.

The damn can is also ever so slightly smaller you can see it very well but you can feel it and measure it

    By the power of a quick search, I’m told that 3.6 OZ is actually 102 grams, while 3.3 OZ is 93.6. 96 grams is 3.38 OZ, so one has to assume they’re starting from grams and rounding down (even though they’d be justified to report 3.4 instead, honestly). It’s not fluid ounces because that’d be somewhere in the region of 5, again according to search.

    So most likely, it’s a typo of some sort, or proof that non-metric systems should be banned by all humanity. This is also how European basketball players grow several centimeters when they start playing in the NBA.

    Interestingly, pictures of the product online alternately show 104 and 96 grams. Volume wouldn’t have to change, because you can just pressurize the can less to include less product. Oh, and yet another search tells me the reported net weight should not include the weight of the propellant.

    Also, what are you doing buying Beckham’s spray deodorant? Multiple times? I mean…

      Yeah the whole situation makes no sense.

      As far as buying multiples im alllergic to something in some deodorants and i get rashes under my arms. This one hasn’t so I have been using it for over 10 years. I have many many cans in the cupboardbecausewr buy them when they come half price.

      My wife likes the smell I like the smell too.

      And as far as I know it’s not evil right?

        Some deodorants irritate me as well.

        I eventually found out that it was a “72 hour” deodorant that I was reapplying every 24 hours (after my shower where, I assure you, I was washing my pits) and it was building up. It was so itchy and I’d scratch until I was raw.

        Now I only wear it every other day and use a “natural” deodorant in between.

        Might be different for you, obvs

          You might be on to something there, i used to use the sports oriented ones that were longer lasting.

          Ah well this one does the job and my wife loves it cause she associates the smell with me so I can’t change haha

        Oh, no, I’m mostly joking. It’s just… celebrity “lifestyle brands”, you know? Or maybe you don’t know. I’m certainly the type of person that buys “deodorant” brand deodorant, I may be the outlier here.

          I’ve never even thought about the David beckham relevance at all

      Just to add; it’s clearly measured by weight because 150 ml is 5 fluid ounces. And my comment, buy unscented deodorant and an actual bottle of cologne, it smells nicer.
