Mouthwash. Bleach.
Detergent.
What is the hidden link that allows us to associate the three above products together?
Not only do we use these in our everyday strive for hygiene, but they all supposedly kill 99.9% of germs.
Let’s look at that again:
“xxx peppermint mouthwash: Kills germs 99.9%! Buy two now for ….$$$ Yadda Yadda.”
And again:
“Kills Germs 99.9%…”
However, they don’t actually make it clear whether it is the bacteria in our mouth or not.
So therefore, this can be taken several ways:
- If I drip this onto a single germ, it will die 99.9% of the time.
- 99.9% of germs will die once they come into contact with the mouthwash - what the “marketeering” people want you to think. ; OR
- The mouthwash only affects 99.9% of all the known germs in the world.
I might be that one in a thousand :3
What do you think? (: Who knows? It’s a possibility.
