Was a great product
I really used to like the Altoids.All the flavors were nice
and strong, and had a nice kick.Recently the manufacturer has begum adding corn syrup solids or some "corn" product, and since i'm allergic to corn, I've had to stop using them.
Bummer.

My Beer Drinking Pal Sucks on these Like Candy
All right, is it a breath mint or some kind of crazy foreign candy? Do people really suck on these things that taste like Dentine on steroids. They do, what's more there are people that swear by them. In fact I know a guy who stops off at a topless place (we still have places like that in Reno) every night and has a beer or two while he watches the girls, maybe gets a lap dance. He swears by these things, better than rancid beef jerky, he says, for wiping away the foamy taste of the brew he'd been drinking, while he was lusting with his eyes, his heart and other parts of his body, as well.

I have another friend who actually likes these things, gobbles them as if they really were candy and I've often wondered why I can smell the cinnamon on his breath, while my beer drinking buddy has breath fresh as a newborn's. Maybe the beer is a requirement before popping one of these cinnamon flavored doodads into your mouth.

So I guess the bottom line here is if you're doing something where the taste of booze on your breath might not be a good thing, like driving, for example, then maybe you should have these things handy, but if you're not, well then you're not, but you can eat 'em, suck on 'em, roll 'em around in your mouth anyway if you please, if you don't mind smelling like a case of dentine. Just tell people your British, offer them one of these and pretend that you have class. Who knows, you might even fool 'em.

PS. Don't get me wrong here, I am not, definitely NOT recommending driving while intoxicated. Don't do that, it is very bad. Bad, bad, can't say it enough.

Wintergreen is my favorite flavor
Called "Frozen Tongue" this was the second flavored released by ALTOIDS in 1998.

ALTOIDS mints were first produced in England at the turn of the 19th century during the reign of King George III.

Ingredients: sugar, artificial flavor, gum Arabic, gelatin, corn syrup, natural flavor.

My first encounter with wintergreen was in a heat rub (I smelled it but did not eat it.) Then I found it in some circular candy with a hole in the middle. Now I keep a tin of ALTOIDS at work, home and in the car.

Altoids: Curiously Strong Mint and/or Modern Urban Legend?
Like many people I never paid attention to Altoids, the curiously strong mints made in Great Britain by Callard & Bowser, until Kenneth Starr made his report and covered events that allegedly occurred November 13, 1997 in the study of the White House between President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.However, the Starr Report was not able to offer any insights on Altoids since all that happened on that date involved an antique paperweight in the shape of the White House.However, I did find an informal poll conducted by David Emery of Urban Legends and Folklore produced the following results:

38% have tried it and say that it works;
8% have tried it and say that it is no big deal;
27% have never tried it but think that it would work;
15% have never tried it and think it would not work; and
10% wish the subject had never been brought up.

Please note that there was no distinction made in the original e-mail, the conversation at the White House, or this informal poll between the Wintergreen and the Peppermints varieties of Altoids.However, if you discount those who have never tried Altoids, even for its originally intended purpose, 81% of the respondents to this informal poll were able to render a favorable verdict.That is not a bad statistical result, even given that the sample is totally random and that you have to account for variables (e.g., size of the mint being used).

Then you add to this mix the idea that these really are curiously strong mints.Granted, they are not a taste that can be acquired by one and all, because they are intense, but given the mild mints that we had to put up before Altoids made its way across the pond this is a vast improvement.These are just as strong as they claim to be on the tin.

AN ACQUIRED TASTE...
These British mints are, as the advertisement states, "curiously strong". Those who like the taste of cinnamon will enjoy these mints with their powerful minty flavor that underlies the hot cinnamon taste. Of all the flavors in which these mints are available, cinnamon is the best, with wintergreen a close second. ... Read more

Terrible
I accidentally grabbed the original flavor of Listerine, which was a mistake. The Listerine products are great and I use the other flavors, cool mint and freshburst daily. However, this was an exception. It tastes kind of like strong bitter cough drops and stings a lot when gargled. My kids couldn't even handle a little bit. Listerine is great but don't buy this flavor.

Listerine is the only "true" mouthwash.......
This is a must have item in any home. I tried the cool mint and the natural citrus but I like the original more because it doesn't have a funny taste and it seems stronger. The natural citrus tastes like a flat orange soda, yuck. Some tips: you can mix it with some water to make it milder (on a cold day, mix it with hot water) or you can mix it with hydrogen peroxide and then brush with it after you brush with your regular toothpaste. Start brushing with an electric toothbrush with one hand then with the other hand, use a water jet and spray the mixture to where you are brushing. This will kill even the germs hidding in the gum lines and pockets. I also use the water jet to spray it between my teeth. I use alot of Listerine. Mixing Listerine with peroxide not only make it more effective but also save alot of money because peroxide only costs about 90 cents a liter. ... Read more

Wow, I can't believe I just found this product!
I have always used my brush to clean my tongue, which seemed to work fine.When I received one of these BreathRx scrapers from my dentist, I was sceptical at first that it would perform any better than my brush.I quickly found it to be the best dental hygene product since mouthwash!I will never be without one now!I can't say enough good things about this product.It covers the entire tongue per scrape, so takes much less time and gets so much more debris off your tongue than a brush can.Brilliant.

Great Scraping Experience

I liked the taste of this mouthwash. So many of them are too strong and have a tendency to cause me to gag. The bubbles it creates in my mouth are refreshing too. I even got the kids to use it! I love the large size -- this is one of those things you go through quickly and a big bottle is better.

Scope is my mouthwash of choice. I've been using Scope for years. My family and I like Scope because of its flavor. We've tried other mouthwashes and they just don't do the job like Scope does. Scope leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean. The original mint is my favorite flavor but Scope offers other flavors also. I'd recommend (and have recommended) Scope to family and friends!

I really like this product! I've always used Listerine because I didn't think the milder mouthwashes were very effective. Scope definitely breaks that theory. It has a light, fresh taste that's great for the whole family! My wife and teenage daughter stayed clear of the Listerine... but they really like the Scope. It keeps our breath fresh for quite some time. I'm going to order another bottle to keep at the office! This product was a pleasant surprise to our whole family!

This scope was pretty good. It had a very nice flavor and freshened my mouth and breath. I liked that the flavor was not too overpowering like some other brands on the market. And it didn't taste strong or ""mediciney."" I used this product probably several times a day, usually after brushing my teeth, but sometimes just during the day (not after brushing teeth). I liked the immediate feel of my breath. The only complaint I have is that it didn't last too long. Overall, however, it's pretty good and I guess I'd recommend it.

I was really impressed with this product. Always before I'd used Listerine. However, Scope had a much better taste and wasn't quite so strong. It had a nice tingle but it didn't make my mouth feel like it was burning. It also made my mouth feel a lot cleaner for a lot longer time. If I used it right before bed, I didn't wake up with bad morning breath. ... Read more

I'm used to regular tasting Listerine so I was quite surprised that this didn't have as strong an acidic bite as the regular stuff. It still had the sting to show that the antiseptic qualities are working, but the mint flavor mellowed it out enough to not have to brace myself the way I used to. Listerine is also great to apply to canker and cold sores at the first sign of irritation or during a flare up and helps them go away more quickly.

What a great product! I've been using Listerine ...
What a great product! I've been using Listerine for years but the Cool Mint flavor is much more appealing than the regular flavor. It doesn't have a candy flavor like other brands. When I don't have time to brush after lunch, just rinsing my mouth with Listerine makes it feel clean. I would definitely recommend this to my family (and I have).

This product is the best. It's supposed to kill germs. I tried using it for several days, and my mouth feels much better after using it. I will definitely keep using this and will recommend this product to everybody. It doesn't taste too bad either. It actually tastes refreshing.

Cool Mint Listerine lives up to the Listerine ...
Cool Mint Listerine lives up to the Listerine brand name, delivering the antiseptic properties of original Listerine, but without the overwhelming medicinal taste. The Cool Mint is quite strong -- I usually rinse with cool water after using it -- but results in freshness that lasts. The medicinal taste of the original is still there, but so very slight that it's unnoticeable unless you actually try and taste for it. This product is also competitively priced. I've already ordered more for myself, and highly recommend this product to others.

Double-licious
Double-licious
BY: Kyra Tucker

When you walk into the grocery store and head for the candy aisle do you contemplate about what type of gum you are going to buy? Do you have a hard time choosing a gum that is long lasting for a reasonable price? I do! That's why I conducted an experiment to see which type of my favorite gums had the longest-lasting flavor, how many pieces of gum were in a package, the cost pera piece, and the total price. Through my experimentI found that double mintwas the best gum out of the other four gums I tested, this is why.
Doubleminthad a longer-lasting flavor than big red, juicy fruit, and freshen-up, but didn't manage to out-last orbit. This doubly delicious gum, made by the famous Wrigley'scompany, lasted for 3 hrs. 11 min, one hourlessthanorbit.
Doublemintoutdid orbit in the contest for the most pieces of gum in a package.The package of orbit had fourteen pieces while double mint had seventeen pieces of gum and freshen-up,the 2nd runner-up had seven.
The price for each piece of refreshing, minty, stick of double mint is an astoundingly meager$0.04. While the price of each individual piece oforbit was around $0.09, even though there were less pieces than double mint.
The total cost of a 17 stick package of double mint chewing gum is $0.86 This is immenselyimportant to the minors like me who live on a tight budget because they're not 16, so they cant get a minimum wage paying job. If you are one of these unfortunate peoplethen orbit may be way out of your price range. It's a pricey $1.19!!!
As you can see, according to my information, Wrigley's double mint is the chewing gum to grab when you're overwhelmed by the many expensive, short-lasting flavor gums stocked in your local grocery store candy aisle.

Kids like the Taste but I think the Taste is Kind of Yucky!
We have this Reach Act Anticavity Flouride Treatment Rinse in the cabinet and I took a swig of this just to taste it because I liked bubble gum when I was a kid but personally I thought the taste of this stuff was horrible and tasted like bubble gum after you have chewed on it for hours and it has lost it's flavor and it left a terrible aftertaste. This is a good product for kids as they like the taste and it is mild enough that it doesn't burn their mouth so I give it a 3 just for that but If I was rating this on the taste alone it would have to give this the low rating of 1 star!

This product is good for the whole family. Pleasant color and taste, and the bottle makes it easy to determine how much of the product one needs. The kids already get fluoride in the drinking water, and fluoride treatments at the dentist, so I'm not sure whether this will have a noticeable effect on our dentist trips, but it seems to reinforce dental hygiene. I would buy this product again.

I really like this product. It leaves my mouth feeling great! I'm one of those people who brush their teeth almost obsessively (often five times a day), and I really enjoyed the addition of the Act rinse. It's very easy to use, the dispenser gives me just the right amount. The flavor is cinnamon, yet not too strong. It certainly doesn't sting or burn my mouth the way some traditional mouthwashes do. I have a young child, and really appreciate the fact that it doesn't contain alcohol and therefore doesn't pose the potential danger that most mouthwashes do.

Since our water provider is no longer adding fluoride, I think the Act Fluoride Rinse is necessary. The hardest part was actually forming the habit of using it every night. But the rinse tastes good, and the easy-to-measure dose makes it a habit I didn't mind learning. I'm rating this product ""five stars"" based on the taste and convenience. It will be difficult to tell, however, if it will actually prevent cavities because cavities are rare in our family.

My husband and I loved this Cinnamon Reach Act Rinse! It made my mouth taste and feel so fresh and clean! The cinnamon flavor is very good.

Before I Test Drove this, I wasn't aware that the cinnamon flavor was available. The taste was refreshing, and it left me with a nice clean-feeling mouth.

The anticavity fluoride added to this product is a great improvement over the original Reach. I liked this product, and plan to use it from now on. I'd recommend it to anyone. ... Read more

Simply the BEST!
I have owned this little gadget for at least 8 years---still do!I have bragged about it for so long I ordered two more for gifts in April 05.I "froogled" for best price, but amazon.com tops them all, so forget trying to top amazon price.Besides that it is free shipping for two.They arrived in four days even with free shipping. I was astounded.Whoever wrote the first review which is negative either didn't use the device or has no patience---nothing personal.Dental and oral hygiene is everything and is proving to be very important to prevention of all kinds of infections---not merely bad breath.Besides, for 13 bucks and a AAA battery, you aren't going to smell like something out of "Deliverance". If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.I am a retired US Navy CDR and try my best to tell the truth.Thanks.Bob

best hygiene device ever made
I'm sorry for for the person that wrote the other reveiw on the oralgiene, but he is dead wrong the only thing that is bad about this device is that the back cap were the battery goes in should of been better manufactored, other wise this thing rocks but @ $20 or lower you can not beat this thing, I found this thing somehow on the internet or airplane magazine not sure which but bought it, about 5 years ago, when mine broke I almost had a panic attack, this thing works, like nothing else and there is no gaging effect, which is kind of weird, but this thing takes so much plague and bacteria off your toungue its kind of grose, and you woundn't even think you had that much in your mouth, in my opinion there nothing out there that could ever get rid of that much plague and bacteria, thank god I found another one and to the maker thanks, Chris

What a waste!
The Oralgiene etc. is a complete waste of money.One would expect a battery-powered tongue cleaner to help remove bacteria better than a conventional one, but it doesn't.The Oralgiene simply and meekly vibrates in your hand (not in your mouth) as you swipe the sharp tip on your tongue.Although the Oralgiene is more effective than a toothbrush, it doesn't compare to a manual tongue cleaner. ...

It doesn't burn
I got a sample of this when I bought my toothpaste. I like it because it feels fresh and doesn't burn the way harsher mouthwashes do.

Takes a little getting used to
My initial reaction to this stuff was "yuck!" This is the only mouthwash i've ever tasted that was somewhat sour instead of sweet and burny like others i've used. However, it doesn't burn much (good) and leaves your mouth feeling fresh for hours (amazing). I'd have to recommend it, along with the other Thom's products i've tried (toothpaste in fennel, spearmint, gingermint and strawberry flavors). Good stuff.

I liked the fresh taste without the ""afterburn"" of other products. It left a sparkly clean taste, which was very pleasant and lasted quite a while. Also, I liked the natural ingredients and the flyer that listed where all the ingredients came from. The fact that it's alcohol free is a plus. I also appreciated the Web address listed on the back. We'll definitely be using this product from now on, and I'll try their other products as well. A definite winner!
