Millennials: Smartphones are more important than deodorant

Put down the iPhone and pick up the Old Spice!

Millennials may need to re-evaluate their priorities after data was revealed on Monday showing that they believe a smartphone is more important than their deodorant.

The Bank of America Trends in Consumer Mobility report interviewed 1,000 adults, asking them to list how they value different objects in their everyday lives, CNBC reports.

The results were surprisingly “stinky.”

The study found that only 87 percent of millennials said their deodorant was essential to them, while 93 percent of those interviewed said a smartphone was “very” or “somewhat” important.

In addition, 91 percent valued their toothbrushes as a daily importance.

Older adults displayed somewhat wiser choices than their smelly peers, with smartphones and deodorant ranking equally in their lives at 91 percent. The toothbrush was said to be 95 percent important throughout their daily lives.

The rancid results don’t just prove why some millennials might smell bad, but also why so many today may also be jobless.

“If people can smell you before they see you, you aren’t getting the job,” Susan RoaAne, author of “How to Work a Room,” a guide on what to do to land a job, told CNBC.
