Lately I've been thinking about Listerine. The dentist always tells you to use it, and the ads always say, Listerine Kills Germs! I am here to say that it has to be true, because after I use Listerine (I've put a big bottle in the shower, so I often rinse while I rinse, as it were) I can literally hear (and feel) every germ in my mouth screaming as they die an agonizing death. It is FAR from a pleasant sensation, and in fact the negative reinforcement model necessary to get me to actually use the stuff is complicated and difficult at best. But I guess the germs must be dying, because I can feel them on my teeth (did you know teeth could feel? Consider Listerine), gums, lips and tongue. Everywhere the stuff touches.
And, just as an aside, I have to believe it's a great diet aid, because noone on earth would be willing to put anything in their mouth after that.
