I know how bad it tastes when some sucker drops the rock right through that hole.

8/3/2009 1:06:27 PM

really?

I'd have taken you for the kind to try to make people laugh and spit it out of their nose

8/3/2009 1:06:40 PM

Mmm all the flavors of swish. Pink swish, trying to say it tasted like bubblegum. I, too, don't miss Swish.
Or end-of-grade testing.

8/3/2009 1:06:41 PM

I only recall one flavor (the pink flavor)

8/3/2009 1:07:56 PM

I don't know what the other kids were bitching about. I never minded it.

8/3/2009 1:10:44 PM

I know. I wish there were other flavors. Better flavors. But only pink existed for me.

8/3/2009 1:10:52 PM

Swish prevents the fucked-uped teethedness that drugs provide.

"In 1974, a Weekly Fluoride Mouthrinse (FMR) program was piloted in North Carolina at Winstead School in Wilson County. After three years, a 34% reduction in decayed, missing and filled permanent teeth was achieved. Through the participation and support of the NCOHS, the FMR program expanded and served approximately 420,000 children statewide at its peak in the early 1990s. In 2002, due to budget constraints and the lack of current data on the effectiveness of a weekly school-based fluoride mouthrinse program, the NCOHS discontinued the FMR program."

damn i remember that nasty stuff

8/3/2009 2:58:47 PM

there was always some kid who tried to make everyone laugh and make swish come out someone's nose

I was that kid

8/3/2009 3:07:40 PM

i think we had the green stuff once or twice. generally it was the pink variety.

it was by no means an epicurean delight that I yearned for each week or month or however often we did it, but I never thought it was bad.

8/3/2009 8:16:09 PM

Do they still even do swish?

8/3/2009 8:33:58 PM

hmm i am thankful for my private school education and routine visits to my own dentist.

dr dempsey's office ftw

8/3/2009 9:41:50 PM

Every private school kid I knew growing up ended up being an alcoholic, drug addict, or dead in a dui
