TIDBITS® CONSIDERS

DEODORANTSby Janet Spencer

For most of our time on earth, humans walked around stinking. Deodorant is a relatively new invention, and Tidbits tells the story.

THE ARMPIT• To understand antiperspirant, you must first

understand sweat. Sweat does not gush out of the pores. It hangs in the opening like a drop of water in a faucet. What finally pulls the sweat out is an electrical charge. A bead of sweat has a negative electrical charge. The surface of the skin has a positive electrical charge. The positively charged skin yanks the negatively charged sweat out of the pores. Enter antiperspirant. Aluminum chloride is the active ingredient, and it has a negative charge. The negatively charged aluminum shoves the sweat back into the body, just like two negative ends of a magnet move each other around. The sweat is re-absorbed by the body and the skin stays dry.

• Deodorant is another story. There are bacteria living in a typical armpit, which is warm and moist. The ammonia waste products produced by the bacteria cause the odor. (Sweat is odorless.) Deodorants contain insecticides and bactericides that wipe out the entire arm pit colony— temporarily, at least. When the anti-microbial agents wear off, the bacteria move in again, journeying from the shirt or other parts of the body.

CROSSWORD

DEODORANTS (continued)• The reason we have armpit hair is because the

hairs act like wicks, moving moisture away from the skin and keeping it dry. Dry skin is healthier than moist skin. However, hair adds plenty of extra surface area for skin bacteria to cling to. Shaving cuts that area down.

• Mankind through history has worked to combat body odor. Early Egyptians applied perfumed oils to the armpit, and regularly removed their underarm hair. The Greeks and the Romans followed suit, but until 1888 the only remedy for B.O. was to mask the odor with perfume and spices.

• In 1888, a Philadelphia inventor stumbled on the fact that zinc prevents body odor. Zinc, like aluminum, prevents sweat from coming out of the pores, but it was decades before anyone understood why. He invented a zinc-based cream called Mum, patented it, and sold it widely. Bristol-Myers later bought him out, and Mum is still produced today, being marketed mainly in Britain. In 1902, a new antiperspirant called Ever-Dry hit the market; it was the first to use aluminum chloride. It was followed in 1908 by Hush. Unfortunately all of these early brands of antiperspirant were sticky, slow drying, and irritating to the skin. Ever-Dry was so acidic it would eat right through the fabric of a shirt.

• In 1916, an article in the Journal of the

American Medical Association discussed a study that showed a 25 percent solution of aluminum chloride in distilled water would reduce excessive sweating if applied to the underarm every two or three days. However, such a solution tended to cause the skin to burn, sting, and itch because aluminum chloride is corrosive, having a very low pH value.

• There was a break-through in 1919 with the unveiling of a brash new antiperspirant called Odo-Ro-No. In ads in newspapers and magazines, Odo-Ro-No proudly declared that it banished “B.O.” B.O., an abbreviation for ‘body odor’, was a scandalous term. Previously, such products had euphemistically claimed that they kept a person “clean, sweet, and dainty” so to admit that people actually sweat— and to further state that sweat smelled bad— made for a shocking advertisement. “Take the Armhole Odor Test!” challenged the ads, hinting at social disasters that might ensue if one failed the test. Sales soared.

• A new product called Arrid Cream was introduced in the 1930s which contained aluminum sulfate instead of aluminum chloride. This was much easier on the skin and the product sold well. The next advancement in deodorant didn’t come along until 1947 when Stoppette Spray Deodorant became the first deodorant that could be applied without the fingers having to contact the solution. It came in a spritzing squeeze tube. In 1952, Bristol-Myers (producers of Mum) came out with the first roll-on, invented by a company researcher named Helen Barnett Diserens who was inspired by the newly invented ballpoint

▶ ‘Winnipeg’ comes from the Cree word ‘wiinipaakw’ meaning ‘nasty water’ probably because the water was salty.

▶ The Creighton nickel and copper mine in Sudbury, Ont, is the deepest mine in Canada, reaching a depth of about 2.2 km (1.4 mi). Creighton Mine is also home of the world’s deepest underground physics laboratory located 2,070 m (6,800 ft) underground.

▶ The Hudson’s Bay Company has been in business since 1614, making it the oldest business in North America.

▶ The border between Canada and the United States is the world’s longest border between two nations. It spans 8,891 km (5,525 mi) which includes the 2,475 km (1,538 mi) border between Canada and Alaska.

▶ Canada’s largest earthquake occurred on August 22, 1949 off the Queen Charlotte Islands (now called Haida Gwaii), with a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter Scale. It was larger than the 1906 San Francisco quake. No one was killed.

April 22: in 1955, Congress ordered that all U.S. coins bear the motto “In God We Trust.” In 1970, the first Earth Day was held to focus on the conservation of natural resources.

April 23: in 1635, the first public school in the United States, Boston Latin School, was founded in Boston. In 1985, the Coca-Cola Co. announced it was changing the secret flavor formula for Coke. Intensely negative public reaction later prompted the company to resume selling the original version as Coca-Cola Classic, while New Coke remained on the market for several years.

April 24: in 1898, Spain declared war on the United States after rejecting America’s ultimatum to withdraw from Cuba. In 1980, the United States launched an abortive attempt to free American hostages in Iran, a mission in which eight U.S. service members died.

April 25: in 1859, ground was broken for construction of the Suez Canal. In 1945, during World War II, U.S. and Soviet forces linked up on the Elbe River.

April 26: in 1607, an expedition of colonists went ashore in Virginia to establish the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere. In 1986, the world’s worst nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine, killing 31 people and spewing radiation that sickened thousands.

April 27: in 1861, West Virginia seceded from Virginia to become a Union state after Virginia had seceded from United States. In 1937, the nation’s first Social Security checks were distributed.

April 28: in 1789, a mutiny occurred on the H.M.S. Bounty as the crew of the British ship set the captain and a few loyal officers adrift in a small boat. In 1914, Willis H. Carrier patented the air conditioner.

pen. They named the product Ban, and it is still one of the top selling deodorants today.

• While scientists were trying to figure out how to get a man to the moon, the Gillette corporation was trying to figure out how to get deodorant into a can. It was a tough problem because the spray nozzle kept corroding or the deodorant would crystallize inside the can. In 1965 they got the formula right and introduced Right Guard.

• Right Guard used zirconium salts instead of aluminum salts. Although it was less irritating to the skin, it acted as a deodorant but not as an antiperspirant. Five years later, Arrid Extra Dry provided both an antiperspirant and an anti-microbial deodorant in an aerosol spray. It sold so well that use of roll-ons and creams diminished, and by the mid-1970s the vast majority of deodorants used in the U.S. were aerosols. Then problems with the ozone layer surfaced. The aerosol market plummeted, to be replaced by today’s infinite variety of pump sprays, sticks, and gels.

• The FDA classifies deodorants as cosmetics. However, antiperspirants are classified as drugs. Why the difference? Because antiperspirants technically alter the natural functions of your body.

• When rock star Kurt Cobain wrote the lyrics for Nirvana’s breakout song “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” he didn’t know Teen Spirit was actually the name a popular deodorant brand. The Mennen Company, which produced the deodorant, wouldn’t say whether the song caused sales to spike, but six months after the single debuted, Colgate bought the company for $670 million.

• In 2008, actor Matthew McConaughey mentioned in an interview that he never uses deodorant or antiperspirant. The next day, he received a year’s supply of deodorant body spray from the Axe Company, along with a note on why he might want to start.

• The Service Shirts Corporation once invented a bowling shirt that had deodorant injected right into the fabric of the shirt.

Q: Why do my two Shih Tzus eat one another’s poop? I’ve tried different products available from pet catalogs to stop this behavior, but nothing has helped. Any advice? I’m 82 years old and running out of patience.

A: No one knows for sure why some dogs start to sample their own feces or the droppings of other dogs. Once tasted, some dogs simply view poop as a delicacy. Some even have preferences, such as frozen “poopsicles” in winter. There are several products on the market that you can sprinkle on a dog’s food, as you’ve learned. You could try some different products that might yield better results. You could also sprinkle on Lowry’s seasoned salt (don’t overdo it), but the results are mixed at best. Some veterinarians suggest the problem in some dogs is a lack of proper nutritional absorption, and recommend a nutritional supplement called ProZyme. Sometimes this works, but sometimes it doesn’t do a thing. You can booby-trap a pet’s feces by dabbing on unpleasant additives like lemon juice and hot sauce. However, you have to catch a dog in the act and quickly apply the concoction. Some dogs then learn to snack immediately after their bowel movements, before the mix can be applied. And remember, dogs who find their own feces delicious might view hot sauce and lemon juice as yummy condiments. One website, www.dogpoopdiet.com, offers a supplement guaranteed to work or buyers receive 120 percent of their money back. A leash with you at the other end is likely the best solution. After your dogs do their business, pick up after them. Once you get them out of the habit, you may not need to be so vigilant - or you could be packing plastic bags and scooping for the rest of their lives. If you’re physically unable to do this, the only solution might be to hire a dogwalker, or ask a friend or neighbor for help.

“GANGSTER SQUAD’’: The empire of mobster Mickey Cohen (played by Sean Penn in top surly, snarling form) is targeted by an elite team of 1940s Los Angeles cops in this stylishly staged saga. Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling play the lawmen selected by the city’s police chief (Nick Nolte) to lead the crusade, with Anthony Mackie, Michael Pena (`Ènd of Watch’’) and Giovanni Ribisi among the officers who join them. Emma Stone and Mireille Enos (``The Killing’’) also star for director Ruben Fleischer (``Zombieland’’). DVD extra: ``making-of ’’ documentary. ***

“THE IMPOSSIBLE’’: Naomi Watts gives a wrenching, appropriately Oscar-nominated performance in this fact-inspired drama about a vacationing family separated by the tsunami that devastated Thailand in 2004. Watts plays the mother fiercely trying to protect one of her sons (Tom Holland, also doing affecting work) as she struggles to survive, keeping the desperate hope of reuniting with her husband (Ewan McGregor) and other children at the forefront of her thoughts. Geraldine Chaplin also is featured. DVD extras: two ``making-of ’’ documentaries; audio commentary by director Juan Antonio Bayona, writers Sergio Sanchez and Maria Belon, and producer Belen Atienza; deleted scenes. ***

“PROMISED LAND’’: Much as he had Ben Affleck as a colleague in both writing and acting in the Oscar-winning ``Good Will Hunting,’’ Matt Damon has a similar peer in John Krasinski (``The Office’’) in this drama about fracking, the effort to find and market natural gas from underground. Damon plays an energy-company rep who arrives in a struggling

Pennsylvania town to buy the rights to drill for such gas reserves, with Krasinski as an environmentalist who opposes his efforts. Damon reteams here with ``Good Will Hunting’’ director Gus Van Sant; Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt, Scoot McNairy (of Affleck’s `Àrgo’’) and Hal Holbrook also are in the cast. DVD extras: ``making-of ’’ documentary; extended scene. ***

“MASTERPIECE: MR. SELFRIDGE’’: Arguably best-known as manic Hollywood agent Ari Gold on `Èntourage,’’ multiple Emmy winner Jeremy Piven departs considerably from that persona to play the mogul behind a legendary London department store in this drama series from writer Andrew Davies (``Pride and Prejudice’’) ... which makes its home video debut several weeks before its PBS telecast ends. Hailing from Chicago, Harry Gordon Selfridge was something of a showman as well as a business mastermind, and those traits often collided in his quest for success. Frances O’Connor portrays his wife. ***

“ANY DAY NOW’’: Alan Cumming shows his excellence weekly on CBS’ ``The Good Wife,’’ and he does so in another way in this intensely emotional, true story. He and Garret Dillahunt (``Raising Hope’’) play a gay couple who try to adopt an abandoned Down syndrome youth (Isaac Leyva), only to run into miles of red tape when their lifestyle is questioned in court. Frances Fisher, Gregg Henry (``Scandal’’) and Michael Nouri also appear. DVD extras: theatrical trailer; two ``making-of ’’ documentaries; audition footage. ***

“A HAUNTED HOUSE’’: Members of the Wayans family sent up all sorts of screen shockers in the ``Scary Movie’’ series, and they’re back at it as Marlon Wayans serves as co-writer, co-producer and star of this only mildly amusing parody of pictures in the ``Paranormal Activity’’ vein. He and Essence Atkins play a couple who move into a house that soon seems to have additional occupants of the supernatural kind. Cedric the Entertainer plays a supposed clergyman who tries to help the new homeowners cleanse their dwelling of evil spirits. DVD extra: ``How to Share a Paranormal Presence’’ featurette. **

IN THE ARENAAre you entrepreneurial? Do you ever take risks? In my circles, I see many people who are so risk-adverse that they fail to ever accomplish anything significant with their lives. Whether this caused by fear, lack of self-confidence, or just old fashioned laziness – many people miss out on the thrills of living a full life; a life pushed and stretched by taking calculated risks. One of the unique characteristics of being human is that we each possess specific gifts. I’m gifted in areas where you may not be. You’re gifted in areas that I’m not. But together, when we employ our gifts – and especially if we really employ (or perhaps more appropriately ‘deploy’) them, we benefit everyone around us. We need more people in the world who are entrepreneurial, who learn to excel at taking calculated and bold risks to accomplish those things in which they truly believe. I want to leave you with a quote that has become one of my favorite; please take from it what you will, and be blessed this week! It’s from the American President Teddy

Roosevelt and it’s entitled In the Arena: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great

enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy

cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of

high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while

daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with

those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

A cop was hiding in his usual spot when he saw a car speed by at 90 mph. Quickly turning on his sirens, the cop pulled over the speeder who, it turned out, was an old lady. “License and registration please,” said the cop in a tough voice. “I’m sorry” responded the lady “I forgot to ask him where he keeps his registration before I shot him.” “You what!” Hollered the cop nervously holding onto his gun.”I shot him” she responded “I stuck him in the trunk if you want to see.” Within 2 minutes there were 8 police cars pulled up behind her and a police chief talking into a megaphone “Come out of the car with your hands up.” While one cop watched the lady, another opened the trunk. “Um, M’am” said the second cop “there’s no dead man in this trunk.” “Well why would there be?” she asked. “Excuse me,” said another cop, “this car seems to be registered in your name?” “Well why wouldn’t it be” repeated the lady. “Well,” they both responded “the cop said that you told him you killed the owner and put him in the trunk.”“Humph” said the old lady with a wave of her hand, “And I’ll bet that old liar told you I was speeding too!”
