You're supposed to spit it out, Rexi. :mellow:

My dad's Listerine smells like motor oil.

I prefer mine. Also I'm not allergic to it.

I remember when it was hip to have Listerine strips on the playground. :mellow:

I remember "smoking" candy cigarettes on the playground. They were tasty. Why in the world would you leave Listerine strips on the playground?

Those were tasty. And I did not turn out to be a smoker.

I don't understand the playground connection though.

Well, I'm pretty sure that a) You can't buy candy cigarettes anymore (though we bought some in Winnipeg a couple of years ago) and b) if you could, you would not be allowed to smoke 'em on the school playground. We were wild back in the day. :unsure: I'm trying to figure out the "wildness" of Listerine strips.

Well, it's certainly not good for you.

Well, if it has fluoride in it then it can be especially dangerous. Ingesting too much flouride can cause stomach ulcers and even death, if large enough quantities are consumed.

they have them at the gas station by my house. you can get a box of them for 25 cents. my little brother gets them all the time.



I also remember it being cool to have listerine strips on the playground. We would see who could keep them in their mouth for longer without making a face.

I always won :mellow:

Oh... HAVE them... I thought you would just leave the Listerine strips on the ground for unsuspecting children to find and consume... :blush: Okay... now it makes sense....

I have a friend who used them as portable discipline for her son for when he got mouthy. But then he developed a taste for them. I don't advocate that, by the way.
