You get 45 grams according to the package. It’s more cost effective for them to just put it in the same packaging as the regular sized and just change the label rather than shut down and change the production line to accommodate the smaller size.
Yes they even have to consider things like accessibility for disabled. It’s not all trickery. Not to say shrinkflation isn’t a problem I don’t want to ruin the circle jerk but not everything fits.
So you, I dunno, read the label where it shows the net weight, and compare it to other similar products nearby on the same shelf? Hell, most store shelf pricing has price per unit on it now, so you can compare prices pretty directly. Yeah, I get that it’s not completely consistent where that’s implemented, but it’s far and away better than the days of “price gun sticker on item and that’s it.”
Uh, that’s incorrect. When you’re buying groceries for your family, getting household essentials, cleaning supplies, etc, you’re going to be in and out because you have to get home to make dinner and get ready for work the next day.
WarmSoda is just a contrarian. I’ve literally seen them argue two sides of an argument across different posts. I wouldn’t recommend seriously engaging with them, but they’re not very bright so it’s funny to get them to contradict themselves or make comically bad arguments.
They still have to ship the empty packaging. You have to wonder if it’s really worth it to the company to package and ship air. The missing deodorant gel probably costs pennies to manufacture.

I get that, but from an environmental point of view, this is an absolute travesty.
I guess that could go for deodorant overall. It’s not a very necessary product.
Environment problems are only affected by necessary products? If people use it, then it is making pollution
Unnecessary products create unnecessary environmental problems… Didn’t think that needed clarifying lol
Then there are unnecessary products creating more pollution and less pollution
Big if true.

Well, by a trully, utterly AMAZING coincidence…
Could also be a function thing too. My travel deodorant has an amount that is 3 times smaller and it kinda sucks to hold.

The case is clear, you can see how much is in it. How is that deception? And yes, you should read labels. That’s what they’re there for.
If you were comparing it to something similar and it was different you’d have a case. Not with this particular product though.
I certainly do not do that. Who has time to inspect every item they buy nowadays? Ridiculous.
Literally everyone has the time…

Then get scammed I guess…it takes literal seconds to to read things.
The time it took you to reply on your addiction device could be spend actually being productive by ensuing you aren’t being scammed at stores.
But when you’re buying 40 things? Have other stuff to do? You are being incredibly naive
Do you just blindly grab random objects of the shelf and pretend to be shocked when you get home or something?
Not everyone is like you and doesn’t understand how weight works.
If you’re going to complain about something, at least attempt to understand it before bitching. Otherwise you just look lazy.

I do expect the average person to have passed 4th grade, yes.
