Is it a secret message? A part of a rat? Chocolate? Poop? A stick?

What the fuck did I find in my deodorant?

Anyone have any ideas?

UPDATE:

Here is the short email I sent to Colgate about this:

I pulled off the plastic tab to my Speed Stick Regular Scent (oops – almost wrote flavor!) Deodorant and start rolling the dial to raise the stick. Then I saw something black and horrible looking in the deodorant! I have taken pictures and uploaded them to my Flickr account here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/avitable/sets/72157604816363175/.

I'd like to know what that is. We've tried to guess, and so far the guesses are a compass, a rat tail, an alien probe, an electronic bug, a stick figure, Hershey's, the bubonic plague, and poop. I don't think it's any of these, but I'd like to know what it is, and this scares me a bit from using Speed Stick and Mennen products!

(If it is an alien probe, does it enter through the armpit area? I really don't want it to be a rectal probe, as you can imagine.)
