Note the asterisk. It's "As effective as floss against plaque and gingivitis between teeth". Therefore it's probably not as effective as floss for other mouth-related issues... :)

No matter how much you swish arouund that Listerine I don't think it will get that broccoli out from between your teeth as well as floss could.

Isn't this the label that they had to go around and cover with stickers?

Why do they need asterisks? The two lines are right next to each other.

So much for "truth in advertising" Maybe you should pick up a bottle and call the 800 number and tell them what you think about their product. Definitely BROKEN

_@_v - given snail radula are too small to effectively floss, this product is actually better than flossing... for snails at least.

Notice the asterisk. Nothing that is followed by an azterisk is entirely true. *

* Not guarenteed to be true. :)

That shows that advertising cannot be trusted.

not broken... it specifically says in what ways it is as effective as flossing.

It then even tells you that you should really be flossing anyway, presumably because they already know there are other things that it doesn't do that flossing is more effecive at.

They really didn't even need to put that in there in my mind, it was just a nice reminder that you should be flossing anyway.
