Whooee! The idgits that makeup promos (I was one of them, I confess) REALLY need to see a thread like this.

My current LEAST favorite is the Hardee's comercial promoting their Philly cheese steak, loaded with onions. They show a young dumb guy drinking (not gargling) a huge bottle of mouthwash to kill the onion smell and closes with another young dumb guy spraying a whole can of air freshener into his mouth, AIR FRESHENER, not breath freshener. I did see a version that used breath freshener, though, later. I emailed Hardees and chastised them for showing someone doing something so very harmful as though it were OK! What if some little kid thinks it's alright to drink a bottle of mouthwash or, worse to fill his mouth (and probably his LUNGS) with air freshener! Up on the rez the kids use Lysol air freshener to get high, they call it a Cheyenne cocktail.
