Deodorants which offer 48 hour and 72 hour protection? What does it mean? Is the idea that you shower, apply and remain unwashed for the best part of three days?
I have never understood what it means and have never been given a satisfactory explanation! Would anyone please care to enlighten me?

Deodorants contain toxic ingredients which get absorbed into the skin and end up in your bloodstream. They may be within EU "safety" limits, but what about the cumulative effect of daily spraying? Non-natural liquid soaps also contain a batch of truly nasty stuff. Sodium lauryl sulphate for a start.
Those who have it worst - toxicologically speaking - are probably those women with a psychological addiction to 'putting on their face' each morning before stepping out the front door.

i also like/dislike unfeasibly long warranties. I have a bed with a 12 year warranty !! I haven't checked the conditions under which a claim can be made !
I also used to sell outdoor lights with a 25 years warranty. Now in seaside areas, good quality outside lighting can be important, but what is actually the customers comeback if little signs of corrosion appear 24 years after purchase?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

People who smell bad generally have a lousy diet, inadequate hydration, or both.
