Ok, I never get to post anything remotely personal anymore. It's all school blogging. So now that I have 4 minutes before heading off to work, I thought I'd post my thoughts on the latest thing on my mind- whitening gum. I have a pack of Orbit gum that claims it'll whiten my teeth. Ok, good. I'm addicted to whitening my smile. However, gum never really touches the front of my teeth. So even if this does work, which I highly doubt it shall, the bottoms and backs of my teeth are going to be sparkling? Not sure I really get the whole concept....
(yeah, this was random. Oh well, it's one of those weeks)
As disgusting as this sounds, I think it would somehow mix something with your spit and whiten your teeth that way. Could be wrong, though.

Posted by: Meredith Harber at October 13, 2005 3:20 AMMeredith- I don't know how I have time to think about this. Plenty of completely random stuff floats through my head (to be honest, I probably thought about it in WCT). And I felt sort of bad for not having a personal post since summer so I wrote it down. Because don't we all want to know what I'm thinking? (No, prob not)
Chris- That is sort of gross. I'm really not sure that's how it works though. With my strips, it uses a bleach to whiten. I certainly can't be chewing on bleach, right? And toothpastes are abrassive- which this gum really isn't. Ok, it's not like I'm putting my full faith into the whitening powers of this gum- I just happened to buy it. I still think it's deceptive though.

Good luck with that teeth whitening--remember: there are no shades of white, only white and shades of off-white, eggshell, ivory, taupe... you get the picture :-D
