For the last 10 months I have resisted buying those Listerine strips... the one that come in the little green thing and they dissolve "instantly" on your tongue. I have resisted because they seemed to be something I could become addicted to. For two reasons - 1) my obsession with oral hygiene (related to my refusal to go to the dentist) and 2) my quest for the ultimate mint.
At present the ultimate mint quest is being led by Altoids and Fisherman's Friend extra strong. However, these are not good for the oral hygiene thing as they contain peppermint oil (small percent) and sucrose (99%). The Fisherman's Friends also contain chlorophyll and copper compounds. This disturbs me somewhat. The listerine things are powerful and sugar free. And if you use more than one at a time... wow!
But they are expensive. And this year I couldn't afford to sustain a listerine strip habit. But now I have a job. And it's in a pharmacy. Meaning that I can both afford and procure these strips of antibacterial goodness. At 15% discount!
