Neo To Go (Jennifer Mendez)


Neosporin or Neo To Go? Neo To Go seems to be more portable than the once bought tube. It seems to make me wonder, "Isn't the tube convenient enough?"According to the Johnson and Johnson Company, the answer would be no because the sprayer only weighs 0.26 fl oz, is designed for one-handled use, and has a no touch or sting application. Not only is it more portable, but the sprayer can be refilled. It comes along with Single Use Packets to refil the sprayer. While shopping, I noticed the prices. The price of a .5 oz tube of Neosporin costs the same as a Neo To Go sprayer filled with one 1/32 oz packet. Bascially, the packet holds a lot less Neosporin than the tube did. Why are the prices equal then? The sprayer and the "convenience" of it being more portable. In conclusion, Neo To Go is Johnson and Johnson charging consumers for the convience of the product rather than the quantity of the product.

  1. I always bring a regular tube of neosporin in my first aid kit when I go hiking and I think the regular tube is already convenient. The "Neo to Go" looks cool because it sprays and I like that you do not have to touch your cut but in my opinion it is not worth it.

  2. The simple fact that you can spray the cut without touching sounds terrific.
