Wrigley's Orbit Professional

Have you tried 'em?

I know you've seen the ad. The girl sits there at her typewriter with food stuck between her teeth from the double sausage, double egg, beans, chips and three slices she's had earlier, and tries to floss her teeth with sticky-back plastic.

Then she pulls out a pack of Wrigley's Orbit Professional and pops two - not one, but two - little chewing gum bits into her mouth. The advertising tells us that they "contain Microgranules (whatever they are), taste great and clean your teerth in a way you can really feel."

Now I'm forced to take issue with this last piece. You see, they lead us to believe that the "microgranules" in Orbit Professional will get rid of all those nasty little bits of sausage skin stuck between your teeth.

Not only do they not do that at all, but they actually leave pieces of Orbit Professional between your teeth as well.

I discovered this when I arrived home from work and brushed my teeth, only to find bits of chewing gum stuck all over my pre-brush floss. And not just between two teeth, but between ALL of them.

Wrigley's Orbit Professional, my friends, does not do exactly what it says on the box.
