My Dad said there was a problem with his gift, but we don't understand

I was going to suggest contacting the manufacturer. Let us know what they have to say.

In my email I told P&G that Dad has been wearing Old Spice since he was a sailor in WWII

I don't think so. I have a habit that drives DH crazy and is probably a little bit of OCD. When purchasing just about anything if the package at the front of the shelf looks like it has been handled extensively, I'll reach for the one behind the one in the front.

I do this too!!

And I'm sorry about your dad's present

I'm sure he was overjoyed that his daughter thought of him to get him something though.

That reminds me of something..

When I was a flight attendant.. and we were always stocking the beverage carts with the sodas... often we would have several cans that had burst and emptied of contents... along with a mess to clean...
This one time, I picked up a can of Ginger ale and it was as light as a feather! So I thought.. oh gee, it burst... but I couldn't see the hole in it anywhere. I put it to the side.. and later I went back and examined it, and I still couldn't find a hole and the tab was intact. I brought it home with me and put it in a bowl of water (I was really curious) and it floated! No bubbles.. nothing.

So they perfectly sealed a can of nothing

Maybe thats what happened to the Old spice... the old spice ran out and the machine kept sealing?

I often find people have used stuff in stores... thats why I always weigh things like air freshener

I'd probably drive even you batty... because I take forever in a store over every little item.. and I drag all the air freshener cans out of the back to compare to the others... then after I find an assortment of the heaviest, I examine them for the can with the least imperfections..... and really... you wouldn't have wanted to be my mother the day we were in Target trying to pick out a single plastic rubbermaid tub.... from all the same tubs.... and then when I realized we could exchange the lids, and I had to examine alll the lids. Really the hardest part is when they allll have imperfections and you have to pick which imperfection would be the least annoying...

But I get it home and never look hard enough to notice the imperfections again.... hehehe.

Could have been a malfunction of the bottling equipment perhaps.
That is the only thing I can think of that has not been mentioned.

Sorry they did not arrive well.

Send him a bottle a month! Or, call a flower shop around Dad, and maybe explain the Old Spice thing to them, and see if they will pick up a full bottle, and fix it in an arrangement, and have them deliver it to him.
