‘It’s always Walmart’: Kentucky woman spots Dove Crumbl deodorant. Then she takes a closer look
Throughout the years, Walmart has earned a reputation not only for being one of the largest retail giants in the world but for attracting a specific niche of people. Chances are you’ve witnessed a (or several) bizarre customer behaviors during a shopping trip. When something strange happens, almost nobody is phased. That’s how one woman felt after she stumbled across the aftermath of a customer giving into their curiosity with a Dove x Crumbl deodorant.
What Is The Dove x Crumbl Collab?
In 2024, the unlikely duo sent the internet into a frenzy after collaborating to launch a Walmart-exclusive dessert scented line of skincare products. For a limited time, fans could smell like their favorite cookie in the form of body wash, body scrub, deodorant, and hand wash. Fans rushed to their nearest Walmart just in time for the holidays which sold like hotcakes. Now, the pair has returned with a new sugary fragrance: Tres Leches.
What Did This Woman Notice At Walmart?
In a six-second clip, Kentucky-based TikTok creator MaryJo Payne (@maryjomj) stares stoically at the shelf in the clearance aisle. Then, she flips the camera to unveil the pink 2.6 oz Dove x Crumbl deodorant standing alone. However, it’s not where the deodorant is located that’s peculiar: it appears like the person in question decided to taste test it. When she zooms in on it, a large bite mark is seen on half of the waxy white powder stick.
“It’s always Walmart,” the content creator writes in the text overlay.
Viewers Were Not Surprised Either By The Walmart Incident
The video amassed 5.6 million views. Like Payne, many didn’t bat an eye, believing this is typical Walmart customer behavior.
“That person was either 8 years old, or mid 30s,” one viewer remarked.
“Intrusive thoughts won today,” another stated.
“I’m not dying it’s ONLY Walmart but it’s ALWAYS Walmart,” a third said.
“Walmart is like the Florida of stores,” a fourth echoed.
“Literally ALWAYS WALMART,” a fifth agreed.
What Happens If You Consume Deodorant?
There is a reason why deodorants have an only for external use’ warning on them. Even Dove’s website warns, “It’s so good that it comes with a warning: You’ll smell deliciously sweet, but please don’t eat.” Although these may smell delicious, there are serious consequences. According to UF Health, deodorant contains two poisonous ingredients: Aluminum salts and Ethyl alcohol.
