Chapter 1: Understanding Mouthwash

In the realm of oral hygiene, mouthwash bottles universally advise users to spit out the product. But why? Is it truly harmful, and could one consume it without serious repercussions?

Indeed, you can ingest it, although you may experience some nausea—yet, many individuals do not suffer such effects. My extensive research into this topic reveals that the primary concern lies in its alcohol content, which stands at a notable 26.9%. That’s quite a jolt for a morning routine! Furthermore, mouthwash is laden with preservatives, making it unappealing for those who adhere to clean eating principles.

Interestingly, I stumbled upon a recipe for a Listerine mojito from someone who dared to concoct it—and remarkably, he survived!

The recipe includes:

• 1.5 cups of original Listerine Original Mouthwash (a potential conflict of interest?)
• 3 cups of mineral water
• 12 peppermint leaves
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 cup of lime juice

He mixed everything together and shook it vigorously. Quite the novice! I opted for a more refined approach, using a wooden masher to combine the peppermint, sugar, and limes before adding the mouthwash. His drink turned out to be a curious hue; I would suggest using a green mouthwash for a more appealing look.

Moreover, numerous sources claim that Listerine Cool Mint effectively eliminates coronaviruses—my dentist concurs.

However, for legal reasons, I must emphasize: do not attempt this at home.
