Did you know??

Did you know that "Listerine was invented in the 19th century as a powerful surgical antiseptic. It was later sold, in distilled form, as a floor cleaner and a cure for gonorrhea. But it wasn't a runaway success until the 1920's, when it was pitched as a solution for "chronic halitosis" -- a then obscure medical term for bad breath. In just seven years, the company's revenues rose from $115,000 to more than $8 million." (Levitt, 2005: 91)

Whoa, I know the saying watch what you eat, but that takes brushing your teeth to a whole new level!! Well, if I ever run out of Mr. Clean or Swiffer solution when I'm cleaning my floors, I'll just run up to my washroom and grab some Listerine lol. Then again who am I kidding, my mom cleans the floors hah, but I'll be sure pass the secret along to her. By the way, that's just a short paragraph out of the book 'Freakonomics' I'm reading right now. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a short, interesting read.
