January 18, 2002

I just bought a pack of these Listerine Pocket Paks which are pretty cool-- these things dissolve on your tounge leaving a Clean Mouth Feeling¹. But I was curious and read the ingredient list. I don't understand a word of it:

Pullulan, Flavors, Menthol, Aspartame, Potassium Acesulfame, Copper Gluconate, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan, Glyceryl Oleate, Eucalyptol, Methyl Salicylate, Thymol, Locust Bean Gum, Propylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, FD&C Green No 3.
