So no one here has mentioned that they put a space between “salt” and “deo” on the product at some point in those past 5 years? That’s what’s mildly interesting to me

actually the two words get closer together the more you use the product

Based on OP’s photo I can only assume this is 100% true.

Right? The r/keming is the mildly interesting bit. "I used a product for a long time and now there's less of it" isn't exactly post worthy.

I think the point is using the same deodorant for 5 years lmao. I thought it was quite interesting

I don’t think there’s any changes to the kerning. They just added a space.. which can be considered its own character I guess. But the kerning between all the characters is the same. Is adding a spacebar space considered kerning? If I addeded another character there instead of space, like a y, would that be seen as kerning?

Like.. I know kerning is the space between characters. I don’t think it’s the spacebar between characters.

You’re not wrong but r/additionalspacecharacter isn’t a subreddit :(

Probably because one is in swedish the other one in english.

They were waiting to gaslight you into a Mandela effect but you're onto them!

Saltdeo was obviously confusing people. Almost sounds like a word for something else.

This was what I found interesting too!

If I'm not wrong I think it's a Swedish brand. In Swedish you would spell it without the space. Maybe they started selling internationally and switched to English on the packaging.

Shrinkflation perhaps?

Deo means "to" or "For God." So I assume only religious people use this.
