I use Listerine. I have been using Listerine just about every day for the past 22 years. I do not use the pantywaist minty versions of Listerine, for those were not available 22 years ago when I first became an Listerine user and my generation could HANDLE it, mister.

However, they did open a brand new CVS right near where I live, and we neighborhood residents were inundated with coupons oh so many coupons. Some of them were redeemamable for a free yes FREE CVS brand product up to a $3 value, so I helped myself to a $2.79 bottle of their fluoride anticavity rinse. I don't know if this stuff has any of its advertised anticavity powers, but it is purple, to Listerine's amberness, and it tastes different. I like a little variety, it turns out.

I would never ever buy Scope, for I am part of the Procter & Gamble boycott. But I must say, I believe that when I was a child in the late 1970's and totally early 80's, Scope was available in both green and red (cimmanom). Yet these days I only see green Scope on the store shelves. What happened there? No more red scope.

I also think I recall seeing a brand called Listermint regularly on drugstore shelves, but I do not see it anymore. Not that I need anything mintily pantywaisted, for I use REAL Listerine.

And you know what else is quite nice, with a unique taste, is the Cepacol.

But anyway - what happened to those mouthwashes of yesteryear... red Scope, and Listermint, and maybe even the Lavoris?
