Here’s a nasty fun fact. A lot people have apparently been sitting at home smelling like ass the past several years. The forced working at home phase in the world pulled out the nasty side of people. Literally.
The parent company of Degree deodorant and Axe body spray announced deodorant sales are finally rebounding after a huge drop during the pandemic.
As soon as people started working from home, they stopped caring if they smelled like shit. With people returning to the office, that’s no longer the case.
Sales of “personal care” products were up 8% last quarter, and half of that is from deodorant sales.
Personal care also includes soap and body wash. So, we’re also showering more than we have been. Which is a good thing.
A study last year found once the pandemic hit, there was a huge drop in how often we were showering, wearing deodorant, shaving, and applying make-up. We even started brushing our teeth less. Basically…this all points out just how nasty human beings really are.
