Title: Deodorant
Post by: rgeczi on July 01, 2008, 10:52:53 am
Just want to let all the newbies, as well as some of the people that have been here for some time that might not know about this, but you can get inexpensive deodorant from Watson's at Carrefour for example, for 20RMB.  I get the one that is priced just a tad higher at 21RMB I believe it, brand name is called "Gatsby".  They have about 3 or 4 different aromas to choose from.  I use the blue one, which smells good and does the job, which is all that I need.

Three days???  You really have to get me the name of it.  Sounds like industrial-type stuff.  ;)

According to your post, I was right.  It is industrial-type stuff.  haha  Well, I will seek it out, and if worse come to worse, I will use it every other day, or something like that.  The price you mentioned is still lower than that Addidas crap they sell, which is totally overpriced.  I don't know about the countries where y'all come from, but in Canada, Addidas are mainly for sportswear, not deodorant.  So it might be used in China just because people know the name. 

Anyways, I will hunt for that brand you told us about.  Wish me luck!   :P

Tim, Heinz makes baby food in Canada too.  I actually tasted it one time just for kicks, and it tasted awful.  They have them in small glass containers back home.  I am not sure how they have them here.  Maybe in the US its not as popular or something.

And Nestle makes "Nescafe", again another popular instant coffee line back home.

I was fed Heinz baby food back in the 60's.

One of my favourite treats as a kid was Nestle's tube coffee and condensed milk.
