Mitchum, smart solid deodorant for men (what's the difference for women?)

I bought two of these stick deodorants, the deodorant part fell off both of them, making them unusable, when I rolled it up, and no I didn't roll it up too much.

Anyone else?

Any make of dry shampoo

Hullygully · 11/10/2010 13:36

BobbleOff

DirtyMartini · 11/10/2010 13:36

Anything from the co-op "truly irresistible" range. Always vaguely horrid.

The rimmel mascara in the pink fat tube. Its so runny that as soon as you blink you end up with prints of your lashes underneath and over the top of your eyes. Horrible stuff, have bought a proper one now, will never be fooled into thinking you can get away with a cheap mascara again

toaster pockets/toastabags

Pesto sauce from Asda twas bogey green and tasteless.

Lulumaam · 11/10/2010 13:38

agree with toastabags. everything burns.

smartprice fishfingers. wet grey cardboard in orange dust. inedible

fabric conditioner - not used it for years, clothes feel just as soft and smell lovely

darcymum, no difference! Exactly the same happens with the womens version! Angry

Yes, I am a sweaty betty Blush

What the feck's bobbleoff?! Really made me laugh for some reason.

I concur with dry shampoo. It is shite. And smells of old ladies. No offence to old ladies.

silverten · 11/10/2010 13:43

Washable baby wipes.

Should have just used cut up blue stripy dishcloths.

faverolles · 11/10/2010 13:44

Dryer Balls. They do bugger all.

Oh no, wait, they make good dog toys!

darcymum · 11/10/2010 13:44

Just looked up BobbleOff, it looks really good, am I being fooled though?

It is made my JLM though, hardly the seal of quality.

Another Mitchum one here - it gave me a horrible rash after one use.
Serves me right for buying it cos it was on offer!
Went back to Sure (which really has never let me down)

A slow cooker
A George Foreman grill
Fluffy dusters (the disposable ones on a plastic extendable stick)

TattyDevine · 11/10/2010 13:50

I have a Bobble-off, saved my Hush Cardigown. What's the problem with them?

But then I also like Dry Shampoo (but only the tropical one which smells coconutty) Grin

Hullygully · 11/10/2010 13:51

NO! Don't by a BobbleOff. Dh got one after being hypnotised in one of those odd kitchen stuff and other shite shops.

LoopyLoops · 11/10/2010 13:51

Ped Egg. Shave your feet onto the floor (because the catcher doesn't catch them). Yuk.

MortaIWombat · 11/10/2010 13:51

A fourth seconding the Mitchum thing. Grin

Hullygully · 11/10/2010 13:52

Shave your feet onto the floor

I cannot begon to imagine what this means

dementedma · 11/10/2010 13:52

In defence of Mitchum - first bought this (as a roll-on, not a stick mind you) as a sweaty 16 year old and am still using it (though not the original one, OBVIOUSLY) 30 years on. It is my longest-used product and is the best anti-perspirant EVER!!

wheelsonthefeckingbus · 11/10/2010 13:53

Oh I like my PedEgg (minging feet here)

JaneS · 11/10/2010 13:53

Waitrose cut-up stirfry veg. Bought it as a treat because I was feeling very lazy and it was rotten! Yeuch.

Ecover washing up liquid is useless too.

thedollshouse · 11/10/2010 13:53

I saw a second hand ped egg at a car boot sale.
