The other day, I went to Meijer (regional grocery chain) to purchase some deodorant.\u00a0 Since I am not fond of shopping for personal hygiene products, I tend to buy the same brand each time I shop. \u00a0 Not only do I buy the same brand, I tend to look for the same packaging.<\/p>\n
So, I was some what confused when I found my usual deodorant brand but in a different colored package.\u00a0 And I was shocked at the price.\u00a0 A two pack was $7.00!\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 But, as I scanned the shelves, I found my usual deodorant in the usual two pack for only $3.00.<\/p>\n
So, I wondered, what was the difference?\u00a0 Upon closer examination I discovered that the $7.00 pack was Women’s deodorant.\u00a0 But why the price difference?\u00a0 Did the womens contained more deodorant.\u00a0 No, it actually contained less deodorant.\u00a0 Was it better?\u00a0 I don’t know.<\/p>\n
While there may be subtle differences between the two deodorants, I suspect that the real difference had more to do with what the two genders are willing to pay for protection.<\/p>\n
