Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

I was complaining the other day about not being able to use tooth-whitening strips, and my father informed me that there's a whitening mouthwash which is much easier to use than the strips. So I picked some up this afternoon on the way home from work, and I tried it out just now, and oh man, I did note when I bought it that it's hydrogen-peroxide-based, but it didn't actually occur to me that this stuff was going to foam in my mouth until I was oozing froth from all facial orifices.

Has anyone ever used this nightmarish stuff before? Is there a trick to it? Because otherwise I think I'm just going to have to live with teeth that are not perfectly white. I don't know if my delicate constitution can withstand swishing H₂O₂ for a minute at a time.

Just out of nosiness, why can't you use tooth whitening strips? Do they bother your gums?

Yes, I'm wondering along with imkalena why you can't use the strips. Maybe they freak you out, because they have to stay on for a while, and they make you talk funny? Personally, they give my teeth claustrophobia and then, midway through the weeklong (or is it two weeks?) process I get bored and wander off, and then my teeth stay not-celebrity-white AND I waste money.

I've never heard of the mouthwash before. Sounds excellent to put in the drink of someone you don't like, but as a remedy for not-blindingly-whiteness, I'd argue that it's easier than any other treatment if it makes you foam like a rabid squirrel!

Those strips suck the rigid cock of satan. If you have the slightest amount of saliva in your mouth, which, as, uh, mammals, WE TOTALLY DO, they don't seem to adhere properly. I saw so little difference. Way too labor intensive for the shoddy results. That, or I am incompetent...?

Why does the idea of you foaming madly make me laugh. >:E
