So I'm stocking the candy/gum shelves and I happen to glance at pack of Wrigley's Orbit White sugarfree gum...
"Proven to Remove Stains and Whiten Teeth...Removes 40% of Stains..."
Hmm...
A closer look at the fine print on the back of the pack tells you the REAL story, however...
"Chewing 2 pieces of Orbit White after eating and drinking helps: Remove stains and whiten teeth; Remove over 40% of stains in testing based on an 8-week clinical test."
Let's see...
Two pieces of Orbit White x 3 meals a day and say, 2 snacks w/beverage x 8 weeks = 10 pieces of gum a day x 7 days a week= 70 pieces of gum a week x 8 = 560 pieces of gum.
If there are 12 pieces of gum per pack, and it takes 560 pieces of gum to make a difference...560 divided by 12 = 46.66 packs of gum -- let's call it 47...
Figure 47 packs of gum at $1.05 each = $49.35...
My God, man, you could spend about the same amount of hard-earned cash for name-brand whitening strips and have whiter, brighter teeth in less than half the time...
Conclusion: Obviously, I have too much time on my hands at work if I have time to figure out this drivel...
