Partly out of curiousity (but mostly out of pure laziness) I decided last night to put anti-perspirant deodorant on before I went to bed. It's one of those 24 hour protection things, so I figured I wouldn' thave to do it in the morning and just roll out of bed, into some clothes and be out the door within 5 minutes of waking up. That was around midnight.

It's now noon, 12 hours later (my time). My pits, they are a-drippin'. 24 hour protection my foot.

What products or services have you experienced that weren't exactly as advertised?

Aside: I did bring 'back-up', since I was a little skeptical of the 24 hour claim. My issue will be addressed as soon as I hit Submit.
