Okay, I just saw the Arm & Hammer P.M. toothpaste commercial that claims to take care of “nighttime breath.” The ad shows an amorous woman waking up her husband, but who gets turned off because he opens his mouth and has bad breath. I mean – who needs a special toothpaste just for use at night? Guess Arm & Hammer wants you to have one tube to use in the morning, and another at night. What next? “Arm & Hammer After-Meal Toothpaste” for getting at those food bits in between your teeth??? :rolleyes: ---

I think what they’re saying is if you brush before bed with their regular stuff, you need to brush again before morning. What a great advertising hook…our regular stuff sucks, buy our NEW stuff!!! ---

I use a separate toothpaste in the morning that has no mint, menthol, or cinnamon, because the taste makes my morning coffee taste like weird candy. At night, though, a wintergreen is a better bet for romance. ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > There really is a mint flavored gel called Good Head. It’s about $10.50 a tube and I got it at a store called The Adult Funny Bone\*\* Well, it’s always nice to know there’s somewhere you can go and get some Good Head for under $20. And, Rachelle, since you brought it up (so to speak) how many tubes of Good Head do you go through a month? Your boyfriend must be very happy. But to get back to the spirit of the thread, I’d have to say one of the dumber products I’ve ever seen sold is a little attachment you can put on your faucet. It’s plastic with a little door-like thing on the bottom. Run the water like regular, or close the little door-thingy and the water squirts out of the top like a water fountain. For those who find Dixie-cups too complicated or getting a glass from the cupboard too much work. ---

Tom’s of Maine makes a great spearmint toothpaste. It’s all that I use now. They also make a wintergreen toothpaste, but the consistancy of it is too thin. [http://www.tomsofmaine.com/products/ftp.htm](http://www.tomsofmaine.com/products/ftp.htm) ---

Yeah, Mrs. O turned me on to Tom’s as well - right now we got a spearmint cut with propolis and myrrh. First time I ever tried Tom’s I thought it tasted like old chewing gum; I was informed that was because of all the saccharin in my old brand. I certainly like it now, but she won’t get the fennel kind for some reason. ---

Hey, there’s nothing worse - you make up in the morning, you want sex, but she wants to kiss you as well! And there’s 8 or 9 pints of lager swilling about in there, together with a hot curry and a kebab from the way home. Millions of germs are having a gang-bang on the surface of the tongue, and then there’s all the burping and farting… And if you’ve had a curry as well, it’s twice as bad! **Ducks and runs…** ---

Re: the water faucet gidget, my mother (same one as who posted under my name in the Pacil thread) bought a gizmo for our outside water faucet, the one we use for our dogs when we need to give them water. It’s built, supposedly, so you can have the water running all the time and they lick the thing and get water (something with ball bearing and other fun stuff) . . . well, what they don’t tell you is where the water goes if it ain’t bein drunk. It went inside our house and made the rug and all sorts of things wet, including the wall and ceiling above. SO we took it off and that company should be thanking their lucky stars we didn’t sue. FFR, don’t buy something like that . . . think about where the excess water is going.
