Capsaicin ---from no less than Cook's Illustrated

"Milk had only a slight impact. What worked on both the skin and the mouth? Hydrogen peroxide.

It turns out that peroxide reacts with capsaicin molecules, changing their structure and rendering them incapable of bonding with our receptors. Peroxide works even better in the presence of a base like baking soda:

We found that a solution of 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide could be used to wash the affected area or as a mouthwash (swish vigorously for 30 seconds) to tone down a chile’s stinging burn to a mild warmth. (Toothpaste containing peroxide and baking soda is a somewhat less effective remedy.) Always keep peroxide, baking soda, and toothpaste away from your eyes."

It just seems so odd to me. If she's an asymptomatic spreader and she insists on sitting next to people who have to breath her exhalations--I mean--presumably she showered, she's chosen to wear clothes, probably brushed her teeth and used mouthwash---all because that's something we do for each other (in part) --right? So weird. Just wear the mask.

I like Keanu more the more i come to understand about him, but i always come away from videos like this wondering if there was enough mouthwash in the world to help this man get rid of the taste of Keanu's arse from his tongue.

Keanu's a very interesting and seemingly nice man. He's a good action actor who puts the hours in to put in a convincing performance. The embellishment about 'textbook' judo techniques and 'veteran' driving skills are marketing embellishments about the most basic of techniques you'd learn if you attended any entry level training course in either driving or judo.

If you have have bad breath, it's most likely caused by a build of bacteria, particularly on the tongue. You're better off using a tongue scraper than temporarily disguising it with mouthwash.

It had some pretty... er... powerful quotes in there. The Brad Pitt comments after Norton slugged him on the cheek were not quite the same words you'd hear on an episode of Teletubbies, for example. Leonardo and Jack prolly could have used a little mouthwash too.

When I convinced my wife to try some scotch whisky I recommended that she took a sip and then let the whisky roll around her tongue. She took a BIG sip, swished it around her mouth like mouthwash, and then almost threw up. It took a while to convince her to try it again...

Catullus, the Roman poet, chastised a Spaniard lover of Lesbia for using urine as a mouthwash to whiten his teeth. Hence, I didn't think it was a Roman thing.

Hey folks, I don't feel entitled and I fucking hate adverts over videos and guess why??
Because the techniques that advertisers use to hawk their wares insults and disgusts me considering the quality of all but the simplest of the crap available to human beings. Advertising is an insidious and continual affront to your consciousness and a waste of resources both human and monetary. i COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON like this for hours as to the "cons" of the vile trade-As to of you those who defend the institution and practice of bombarding the collective psyche with the shit???...Well, the tone your only defense seeeems to include some piety regarding some "necessity" for such a continual assault, simply because of the old adage, "You don't get something, for nothing." In this case, we get pretty much nothing in the form of entertainment(four dweebs sitting around talking geekster shit about nothing very interesting), and for the guy here who got the ad???....Some fucking commercial for mouthwash or a car.
When the internet is off, I'll find something else to do.


Or you could get adblock and/or not watch the video in the first place. There's ways to avoid the evil advertising.

I love that she was unapologetic. Good on her.


It should have been up there. There can't be that many more things to list... toothpaste, mouthwash... I'm done.

And this is why I truly hate mainstream media now... especially the 'mass market' shit.

We have a free 'newspaper' here in Melbourne called the MX, which is basically just a bunch of things also printed in the shlock newspaper The Herald Sun along with even more trite and ridiculous 'stories'.

What stopped me reading it mostly though was that every page has AT LEAST one 'study' that makes some bold new claim about how something we've been doing for years is bad for us/good for us/used to be thought of as bad, but is now good/will make us more attractive to opposite sex

And so on and so on.

Except they are such small and condensed snippets you can't get a hold on whether the science behind the study is good or whether the finding is correctly reported... AND even more often the case, you find that it's a 'study' paid for by some company with a vested interest 'Study says that more people are finding meaningful relationships online' (says study funded by online dating site. 'Study says that using mouthwash with ethanol not a danger as previously thought' (says study funded by Listerine) and so on and so on.

It's infuriating and makes people distrust science more and more.

Sad

This is strange, aren't you supposed to use the mouthwash after you brush your teeth?

wouldn't be surprised if the highlighters were full of mouthwash.

Fun fact: "[Listerine was] [f]irst formulated by Dr. Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert[2] in 1879 as a surgical antiseptic, it was given to dentists for oral care in 1895 and it was the first over-the-counter mouthwash sold in the United States in 1914. The mouthwash was named in honor of Dr. Joseph Lister, a pioneer of antiseptic surgery."

And he got to drain pus from TWO *British monarchs! Lucky devil!

Seriously, it's a *long story, but well worth the watch. Great find, Serious Surgeon.

... Should I use the flouridated mouthwash I just bought? Come on Mythbusters!

Yes! The purpose of flouride is to react with the surface of your teeth, which are made of Hydroxyapatite. Mouthwash is the best way to do this (toothpaste is second best). Ingesting flouride accomplishes nothing, except for causing the detrimental effects of flouridosis. As I assume qruel was getting at, you don't need conspiracy theories to argue against putting flouride in the water supply.
