I just saw a commercial for Crest mouthwash. "Without the burn of alcohol!"
Lies!
I seriously tried that stuff awhile ago. I like using mouthwash, but I'm kinda a wuss about it. For me, the worst part of getting a tongue piercing was having to swish for forever and then use it after any time I ate anything. So I figured I would try this stuff.
So I did.
And then I went:
"IT IS BURNING OH GOD WHY IS IT BURNING?!?!!?!"
They say "without the burn of alcohol!" not because it doesn't burn, but because it's not the alcohol that's doing it. Some other godforsaken unknown chemical is making me feel like I am getting stabbed in the mouth with a gazillion little needles.
But, yanno, hey, at least it's not alcohol right?
On a completely different, but still mouth-related note. (Mind out of the gutter, people.) I think I finally figured out why I didn't like a certain kind of rice at a place some friends and I usually go to. It's chock full of cilantro. Which I didn't think I'd dislike, but apparently some people have a genetic quirk that makes it taste like soap. I believe I might be one of those people.
