If you’ve never tried Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, you haven’t lived, man! Actually, if you can get Keebler cookies at your local store, they have a variety called “Grasshoppers” that are identical to Girl Schout Thin Mints.

It’s a cookie, coated in chocolate, and the whole thing is also mint flavored.

I was a girl scout once….

fatyoli – The mouth lining absorbs alcohol? Hmm…Maybe I should swish Listerine in my mouth for longer than 30 seconds.

Mir – Doesn’t Gingivitis sound like a STD? Or is it just me?

Domokun – Also, some guys who walk out of strip clubs, walk out with vanilla flavored shame, usually put there by Mandi, Candi, or Terri, and must be covered before they can go home back to their wives and girlfriends.

Grins – You could probably kick my ass too. :-(

Gia on Guam – Oh, vinyl. They make wonderful frisbees.

Karen – Listerine is like your kryptonite.

Sasha_Kitty – Yay for supporting small internet businesses! Boo for strobelight honeys and beer goggle princes.

Strobelight honey, beer goggle prince? Only regular Listerine can get rid of those cooties!!! Great review.

BTW, I bought two shirts from threadless – Why Did The Chicken Cross Abbey Road and Fall From Grace. I love the shirts they have – especially at $10 a pop!

I’m a Listerine FreshBurst or CoolMint girl. Which means that I’m more man than you Marvo my love. Shoot, I eat Listerine pocket pack strips like candy. Mmmmm good.

No matter how you look at it…it’s just more shame. Vanilla flavored shame.

I believe in my heart of hearts that anything even slightly vanilla-flavored would be antithetical to fighting the gum disease Gingivitis.

I also believe Listerine commericals are the reason I can no longer eat ginger snaps without thinking of periodontal disorders.

the mouth lining does absorb alcohol, maybe that is why they put it in listerine… to make the whole experience less awful or at least a little bit blurry.
sorry marvo, no girl scouts at least not the kind that sell things door to door, so no mint thins (are they some sort of fake after eight?) for me. still think the combination is gross.
can’t wait to try the vanilla listerine though, but i might have to wait a couple of years until it is on the market here (netherlands, europe….. so called developed country ha!)

TG – Sorry your comment didn’t get posted automatically. It got placed in moderation because it had more than two links. Anyway, it seems like vanilla has been the hot flavor for awhile. I guess vanilla isn’t so vanilla after all. Get it? Vanilla? Ha! I’m so lame.

Gia on Guam – I said a hip hop a hippie to the hippie to the hip hip hop, you don’t stop a rockin to the bang bang boogy say upchuck the boogy,
to the rhythm of the boogity beat. Um, I actually didn’t know the exact lyrics, so I had to Google it. You are the Rapper’s Delight lyrics queen. I bow down to you.

Barb – Listerine Whitening needs something that doesn’t make my mouth foam like I have rabies.

Daneris – I think drunk people invented Listerine. I think they were probably trying to make mint schnapps, but instead made Listerine. Thanks for the compliment.

Mellie Helen – I heard that the alcohol in Listerine actually dries out the mouth, which in turn causes bad breath.

Listerine in any of its forms always seems to sear my taste buds. I want clean, fresh breath, not a naked, bud-less tongue. I’m with Daneris and will stick with the alcohol-free brand I use. Still minty fresh!

The burning is caused by alcohol and there is no need to have alcohol as an ingredient in Mouth Wash, because it isn’t an active ingredient. I imagine they first added it so people would feel more confident that the product was working. I like your blog, it’s very funny.

I like the bluish colored Listerine, but I just can’t get my brain around Vanilla Mint. A lot of companies are hopping on that bandwagon, but ewwww.
The Listerine Whitening is just as nasty tasting without the added bonus of the burn. Thats the one they need to come up with new flavors for….
