The majority of brands are involved in a scheme where their products lead to more consumption of another product.
Deodorant makes your armpits smell worse, needing to use more soap and continue to use deodorant.
Shampoo makes your hair need conditioner, and needs more products to look nice again needing to wash more frequently...
Soda makes you hungry and don't rehydrate, snacks make you thirsty and aren't satiating.
Food isn't nourishing, take these vitamins.
Clothing is getting made from materials that hold onto smells and wear more from washing, needing to be washed more often and washer needing repairs and buying new clothes.
Apps need more resources so you need the new phone to run them.
I thoroughly believe that antiperspirant makes you sweat more. I used to constantly have pit stains, I was so embarrassed by it in high school. I even went to the doctor and was prescribed a hyperhydrosis medication which didn't work and gave me a rash. So I switched to aluminum free Deodorant and my armpits basically never sweat now. Haven't ruined a shirt with pit stains in over a decade now.
