Oxygenated!

Advantages: Intense minty flavour, good value
Disadvantages: Could provide longer-lasting freshness

...Colgate is undoubtedly one of the most established brands of toothpaste in the UK and indeed worldwide. But did you know the company is 200 years old? No neither did I - just take a look at their website if you don't believe me! When it comes to toothpaste, I am loyal to two main brands - Aquafresh and Colgate. I tend to buy several tubes of whichever one happens to be on offer when I go shopping. My latest purchase was two tubes of Colgate Oxygen for £3 from Tesco - a saving of 88p. I had not bought this particular variety before, but was intrigued to find out how well it fared compared to my usual Aquafresh toothpaste. Colgate Oxygen toothpaste comes in a standard sized box, with the Colgate logo embossed across the front. To the right of this are the words 'Oxygen Pure Freshness' and in the background are lots of small blue bubbles...

Review of Colgate Oxygen Toothpaste

A Mouthful of Oxygen?!

Advantages: Good taste and totally freshens mouth!
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands.

...I am always on the look out for offers when shopping and seeing Colgate Oxygen on a BOGOF in my local supermarket a few months ago I decided to give it a try. I rarely buy Colgate due to it being quite a bit more expensive than other brands but since one tube worked out at just 97p for 100ml it was the same as the usual 'cheaper' brands I use. - Price - As of April 2006 Asda & Tesco 100ml - 1.94 Pump action 100ml tube 2.28 Sainsburys 50ml - 1.19 100ml - 1.94 I bought x2 100ml tubes for 1.94 on a special offer. - Compared with other brands per 100ml - * Aquafresh - 90p * Crest - 1.32 * Macleans Freshmint - 96p * Signal - 98p - Packaging - As with most tube toothpastes this comes in a cuboid box, within which is a squeezable tube with a flip top lid, which I must point out should really be closed after...

Ariel Tablets

Advantages: Clean fresh smell, good value
Disadvantages: Awkward box, price as part of the grocery shop in a supermarket.

...First review I have written in a while, bear with me if I come across a bit rusty! Now I am very fussy about what washing detergent I use! I like to use one that smells nice, and that is my main concern. There?s a couple I can?t use as they seem to irritate me like mad, Persil Non-Bio is a no-go, as is Daz and Fairy. Normally I purchase whatever is on offer, or if I can get to Makro, I will buy it there. Failing that I?ll go for Tesco?s own Bio washing detergent. My favourite washing detergent has to be Ariel Tablets though, and on a recent trip to Makro, I bought in bulk! -The Packaging. These tablets, as they were from Makro, came in 2 boxes of 82 tablets as they are meant for industries such as catering and cleaning I suppose. They were bound together in a sleeve that read ?XXL Pack?, and the individual boxes state they...

Review of Ariel Washing Tablets

As USED BY ASTRONAUTS (COLGATE OXYGEN TOOTHPASTE)

Advantages: NICE MINTY TASTE
Disadvantages: CAN BE EXPENSIVE, A BIT MISLEADING

...Colgate Oxygen Toothpaste Colgate 'Oxygen' toothpaste is produced by Colgate-Palmolive. It was the Colgate comapny that first produced 'toothpaste in a tube' (c1896), previous to that it was kept in a jar, no doubt next to their false teeth lol. The Packaging A light bluse box over laid with red at one end with the Colgate logo in white on top with pictures of bubbles at the other end. I brought the 100ml tube for £2.00 at superdrug. To be honest with you I'm not usually that fussy when buying toothpaste, when faced with racks and racks of the stuff I go for the reduced or special offers. On the box Colgate claim's that this toothpaste provides * Prue Freshness * Long lasting fresh breath * Care and Protection for your teeth and gums But it's biggest claim is that it 'gently' lifts away plaque and impurities...

Iron Tablets

Advantages: Boing boing (off the walls)
Disadvantages: Need...to...breathe....*GASP*

...I was back to my insanely hyper state and nothing could stop me. Unless someone stole my supplements of course. Like mentioned before though I did struggle to take the tablets sometimes, especially when I first started as one of my symptoms was a dry throat/mouth. I shouldn't have been so stubborn because after a while I started adding it to my orange juice and it worked just as well without trying to cut of my oxygen supply. --Price-- The best way yo find out the price of Iron is to check the website out (www.hollandandbarrett.com). The RRP is £5.49 but with promotions constantly going on you can always get a good deal. --Iron in your diet-- If an iron supplement isn't for you but you still need to get it into your diet there are a few different things you can eat. They include: Liver Beef Wholemeal Bread - This is...

Review of Holland & Barratt Iron Tablets

Rennie Spearmint Tablets. Yummy and effective.

Advantages: Good taste, works, cheap.
Disadvantages: chalky,crumbly.

...Rennie tablets The Rennie brand is seemingly one of the most recognisible in it's category. They are taken for indigestion and heartburn but are also supposed to relieve wind problems and problems with digestion in pregnancy. This particular product is the spearmint flavour which is part of a whole spectrum of Rennie products including 'Rennie Ice' and 'Rennie fruit'. Indigestion and Heartburn..what is this? As I didn't know really what indigestion was I thought I'd tell you what I learnt about it! Incase anyone reading this is unsure of whether they need to consider this product or not. It is casued by a build up of too much acid in your stomach and means that generally a pain is felt in the stomach or just behind your rib cage. Some people say it is caused by eating too fast or spicy foods which I think is true but to be honest...

Review of Rennie Spearmint Tablets

Non-Bio Tablets!

Advantages: Only needed to use one for an almost full load (not soiled), great scent, good price.
Disadvantages: A little expensive when not on offer so stock up when they are!

...As I am at my sisters at the moment when I need to wash my clothes I just use whatever she has brought on her last shopping trip. This week it was Persil Non Bio Tablets. The tablets come in a cardboard box with a perforated tab which you can pull to open and then inside the box the tablets are wrapped in twos. I used one tablet for my wash as it was not particularly dirty or soiled and I put the tablet inside the wash bag (I'm not sure if this was provided with the tablets as I found it on top of the washing machine). I then pulled the drawstring and threw it in to the drum along with my clothes. I washed my clothes on a 40 degree wash which lasted around 90 minutes and when I took my clothes out they had a lovely smell to them which lasted for most of the day when wearing my favourite top. Everything looked clean and a gravy stain...

Review of Persil Washing Tablets

Oxygen, is that a lot of hot (or is that cold) air?

Advantages: Does what a toothpaste should.
Disadvantages: RRP is expensive!

...COLGATE OXYGEN TOOTHPASTE We popped a new toothpaste in our trolley last month, it was Colgate 'Oxygen' toothpaste, and they proudly told me that I would have "a clean, fresh mouth, like a fresh of breath air"!! Did it?? APPEARANCE The 100ml tube came in a cardboard box (why do they do that, it seems a complete waste and it is hardly environmentally friendly); the box is pale blue with a big red Colgate logo and a little pile of bubbles!! The box also tells me that this toothpaste will provide us with Pure Freshness Long lasting fresh breath Care and Protection for our teeth and gums I should hope so, that's why you buy toothpaste isn't it? Ah but Colgate also tell us on the packaging that it 'releases fine bubbles of pure oxygen which lift away impurities like plaque, leaving your mouth feeling fresh...

Laundry Tablets For Tough Jobs!

Advantages: Works beautifully needing no pre-treatments
Disadvantages: Leaves a residue on the door seal at low temperatures.

...picks up. I have joined the locals in this quest to dry outside when I visit, and some of my undies have been rescued from the fields with newly acquired grass stains, so the product I am reviewing here has been tested in both areas, which is good because Scotland has soft water and Essex has hard water so it is interesting to compare and contrast the results. Persil Gel tablets are biological, and you can find them in the laundry aisles of many supermarkets in an apple green box. In the right hand corner are the words "Just Washed Feeling " which on their website means that they are treated with Active Microcapsules - a new technology, which means that they have a freshness which lasts all day after washing. I bought mine in Tesco and they were on offer at £4 for 48 tablets which does 24 washes, making each wash work out to be just under...

Review of Persil Biological Gel Tablets

A tablet for a happy loo!

Advantages: No scrubbing
Disadvantages: Can't use the toilet for 6 hours

...just feel this product is not that amazing after all I actually prefer the Harpic toilet cleaner which specifically removes limescale. Again you can leave it overnight and get good results at INGREDIENTS ********** In the box this is what they mention it contains: apart from other not so easy to spell ingredients, less than 5% nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants. More than 5% but less than 15% of oxygen based bleaching agent. I am not really sure what this is all about but reckon is about how much pollution this causes. WARNING ********** Make sure this product is out of reach of kids, although each single tablet has a warning that the product is harmful children can still be attracted by the unusual wrapping. A warning for adults is that the box does say that you should handle this with gloves, but if you end up...
