Sometimes you get a rude awakening after shopping. it usually happens when you get home.

That’s what happened to this Costco shopper and TikToker @boulderdancer.

She made a video about her complaint and it has gone viral.

“There used to be five deodorants in this Costco pack.”

But “There are only four,” she adds, presenting the box cover.

“They trick you,” she says.

“The package is the same size and they took one away.”

Then she shows the inside of the package and we see that there is a piece of cardboard where the fifth Dove deodorant used to be.

“That’s some garbage” the man recording her says off camera after zooming in on the cardboard piece.

“Yeah. Like Costco,” She replies.

Then the video ends.

This phenomenon is a form of shrinkflation and it has been very common since COVID-19.

I’ve been thinking of switching to a spray deodorant. I’m tired of the regular kind staining my shirts.

I don’t know about Dove, but I think the other brands I’ve used have always stained.

That’s the worst because then it breaks and falls off.
