While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I've gotten burned with what I'm getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don't care if they took the aluminum off, I'm not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I'm not a sissyfus type of person, but hey if someone was poking you in the armpits that would hurt.

So here I am thinking...hmm deodorant is the blue stuff! Antiperspirant is the white stuff. But no. Now there seems no difference. So does anyone have a good aroma deodorant that not white irritation based for me to try from Amazon?

I am assuming OP once heard the name "Sisyphus" and made a strange assumption about what he thought it meant and how he thought it was spelled.

edit: oh, I'm replying to OP... that explains why it doesn't make any sense...

It's a double entedre. A sissyfus is someone who complains about lots of things. Given such behavior is a choice, and makes life harder, they are also actively pushing the same boulder up the same hill.

I don't believe that's what OP intended.
