I have seen no less than a million of these "Housewife discovers teeth whitening secret ads on facebook and just about every single website with any advertising content on it. I refuse to pay any money to these shills by clicking on their ads, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. Has anyone out there actually found out what this stupid thing is and want to share so I can stop being freaked out by all the teeth on my computer screen?
Is anybody else experiencing these ads, or is it just targeting me and my aging, yellowing smile?
Well, I think If I see another “Obama wants moms to return to school,” or “Obama wants you to refinance” or the such type ads anymore, I’m going to explode.
‘0000’ grade steel wool
pay me 10 bucks and I’ll tell ya.....
okay, I did click through once a few months ago. IIRC, it gave info about how to get trial sizes of two different teeth whiteners and how to use each of them.
Like I said, it’s been a few months since I looked at this, so I don’t remember the products or how they were supposed to be alternated. The link at the time also gave more links on how to request the free samples, but I felt there was too much info being requested to pursue it further...

Photoshop.
Stay away from their lowball free trial offers....
they suck you in and read small print because they sign you up automatically for monthly supplies at hefty prices. Sort of a scam—beware.
>> ‘0000’ grade steel wool
Ew... you get steel lint all in your mouth and stuff.
Couldn’t you just brush your teeth with a wire brush instead?
It’s a scam. The 2nd product asks for a different credit card number, so they get 2 of yours. The fine print says you pay them $75 a month after your $4.95 initial fee, unless you cancel within 14 days. Nobody wll be there to help you cancel. This is a total scam, just like President Obama. A complete scam.
Peroxide also makes an excellent astringent/toner. The mild oxidizing will lighten clogged pores; the antiseptic will help with healing of open lesions (pimples).

Your teeth look fine, to me.
Contrast is everything, just ask Al Jolson.
And after that, polish your teeth with a Dremel.
On a wet toothbrush dab on a little toothpaste and baking soda. Then add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and quickly start brushing (front teeth first while foaming action is greatest) and keep the solution in your mouth long as possible. Helps brighten teeth...maybe not zoom white but does brighten smile somewhat and helps remove plaque too.
Don’t forget to floss as well.
LOL!
1 tsp baking soda
3 - 4 drops hydrogen peroxide
tiny pinch of salt
Yeah, dang it, and as long as we’re ranting about obnoxious ads, can I register a complaint about looking at someone’s gross, hairy belly every time I want some completely unrelated information, like the weather? Holy crap! The Before picture looks like something you’d see in a locker room for overweight truckers and the After picture isn’t really a whole lot better. Like I need that right before lunch? “Hey, kids, look at this disgusting, pendulous, furry lump of cellulite! Makes you want to puke, doesn’t it? Let me tell you the One Free Rule to follow so that what pops out from under your t-shirt doesn’t send nearby marsupials into estrus!” Great stuff with my morning coffee. Is there any freaking body function that isn’t going to get thrust into my face by some brain-dead marketeer? “Here’s my Free Advice on shrinking anal warts! Just look at that there Before picture! And there’s the After shot - just look at them little goobers, heck, you can hardly tell they’re there!” Maybe I shouldn’t give ‘em any ideas. < /rant >
