Main Opportunities & Threats ,[object Object],[object Object]

Opportunity: Leverage the voice of the customer ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],We have used Listerine for a while because it seems to be the best at cleaning and keeping the mouth and teeth healthy . Listerine is really great for protecting your teeth from decay . Listerine mouthwash was proven to be effective in inhibiting the development of plaque and in reducing gingivitis. I also use Listerine to kill bacterias and floss every night. I heard Listerine kills h1n1 germs ??? Oh yes gargle, Listerine kills germs !

Opportunity: New Listerine with Soothing Power ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Listerine is too strong for me that it sometimes had a tendency to hurt the sides of my mouth. There isn't the sting that you get from Listerine, but you do feel. listerine and other mouthwash brands have strong chemicals to clean your mouth better than toothbrush, but the same chemicals can hurt our tongue and gums . The listerine likely irritated it , it has a high alcohol content. @lordtrilink Listerine is oral death . Sometimes... when the listerine is too strong and I want the "sting" to stop . It's pretty cool, and normally one can find peroxide for less than a dollar a bottle, whereas Listerine is quite expensive and burns while peroxide does not. JK The alcohol in the listerine could cause soreness if you do it for too long though. Listerine might be a little harsh . Potential Actions Insight

Opportunity: Toenail fungus treatment ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Listerine Nail Fungus Remedy - I have also heard people saying Listerine footbaths can cure toenail fungus . Many toenail fungus sufferers recommend using Listerine to help overcome the problem without having to use other products, whether they are prescription, over the counter or other home remedies. Listerine mixed with vinegar is also a good solution you can use as foot soak to treat toenail fungus . Many people find that when it comes to treating nail fungus Listerine and vinegar combined offer even faster results. Listerine is supposed to be one of the biggest myths in nail fungus treatments even though a lot of people claim soaking their feet in it has completely cured their nail fungus. Vicks, Listerine, Epsom salts, and hydrogen peroxide are also other options for a toenail fungus cure although these have been met with mixed results . Listerine mouthwash is another common way to try and treat toenail fungus . ,[object Object],Potential Actions Insight

Opportunity: Mosquito repellent ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],i heard Listerine is good for misquitos . ,[object Object],A friend told me about killing mosquitos with Listerine, at first, I thought it was a joke , then a couple of weeks ago, I sprayed Listerine on the areas where I was bitten, the itch went away quickly. Don't believe everything you read in a chain letter , however, Listerine sprayed or wiped on arms and legs do keep mosquitoes away. Buck and Judy sent in a tip about using Listerine to repel mosquitoes . Listerine is also good to spray on yourself to keep the miskiters off you . I heard one time about using Listerine to repel mosquitoes , but I do not know if it works for these nasty fleas. The best way of getting rid of mosquitoes is Listerine, the original medicinal type. I am going to see if this rumor about using Listerine to kill mosquitoes really works. Potential Actions Insight

Opportunity: Acne treatment ,[object Object],[object Object],Some people use Listerine mouthwash as a toner, because the menthol helps inflammatory acne . ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I heard that toothpaste and listerine can be used to clear or reduce acne .

[…] Judging it has a poison control number on my bottle of Listerine, I don't recommend it. We heard from another reader who reported that her mother died of liver failure, kidney failure and heart failure after several years of secretly drinking large amounts of Listerine . Sister abusing Listerine needs immediate help. So, instead of going to the store to buy their alcohol, the drunks will now be storming places such as Wal-Mart in search of that special little bottle of listerine . With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine , as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the alcohol could take effect. I don't know the alcohol content of Listerine but depending upon the size of the bottle assuming you even hold down the contents of that bottle you could get drunk and/or throw up . Understandable use of Listerine would be to cover up the beer on the breath, but a lot of alcoholics drink it to get drunk or get a buzz off of it, not to mention that mouth wash doesn't even compare to the cost of actual drinking alcohol.

Threat: Dries out mouth ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Crest Pro Health mouth wash is a better option than Listerine because it does not have alcohol in it (which can dry out your mouth ). It's ironic, but i suspect that Listerine at night is bad for your breath, since it contains alcohol => drys your mouth , but you can't drink while you're asleep => excessive drying => bad breath . The only problem with Listerine is that in a documentary I saw on tv, they said alcohol based mouth washes actually dry out your mouth (because alcohol has a drying effect) and in the long run can cause bad breath . According to my hygienist, the alcohol would dry out your mouth -impeding the natural mineralization of teeth from saliva and possibly bad breath from a dry mouth .

I've always made strong emotional connections between smells and people. For instance, the smell of Listerine still reminds me of my grandfather (he died when I was 7). Generally, the idea of Listerine gives me the shivers. I think of the old school original flavor that my grandpa used to use and want to run screaming I buy Listerine because it reminds me of Grandpa and whenever I see a caraway seed, I can hear his voice.

Don't rinse with a harsh commercial mouthwash such as Scope or Listerine, as they can definitely irritate your piercing . I'm not too sure but most likely since when i first got my lip piercing ; i was told to not use listerine because it would burn too much . I went on google today to look up how to care for the piercing and the first thing it said was NOT to use any kind of listerine. Again, listen to your piercer but I do strongly advise against using Listerine or any mouthwash with alcohol in it . they tell you to use listerine but that has alot of alcohol in it so if you use it do half water and half listerine that is what they told me when i got my tounge pierced and be sure to clean it after you do ANYTHING if you smoke, eat, drink, or anything else with your mouth be sure to rinse it well or it will get infected.

Although there are drugs and home remedies for yeast infectio , the latest method is the treatment with pharmaceutical products like Lamisil and Listerine. I heard Listerine was good for a yeast . The Yeast infection cure with Listerine is one choice for your purpose. Many folks have had success with old-fashioned amber Listerine for jock itch .

Opportunity: Dissolves Suboxone ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],When I take mine I brush my teeth and put listerine in my mouth, then spit it out. Right after that I put my suboxone in my mouth, dissolve and crap, then iv'e been mixing it up with the spitting and swallowing. Sometimes I swallow but recently iv'e been spitting because I feel it has been working better. I use the listerine because it helps dissolve the suboxone faster. I swish the spit around and let it sit for a while and then I spit it out, if anyone knows any other ways to take it please let me know, so far this is working well. Using a couple of drops of scope or listerine works well for this. It dissolves the pill quicker along with covering up some of the nasty taste. But like I said ONLY a couple of drops, any more than that will probably be too painful to hold in your mouth for ten minutes. How to take SUBOXONE enters the bloodstream from under the tongue. ( link ) My example schedule is: 1. Take all the inhibitors an hour before my dose with 50mg benadryl. 2. Crush up my amount and add a few drops of vodka then mix the solution. 3.
