This mental_floss article remembers six products that were shamelessly misrepresented.
Topping the list is no other than Listerine. The pioneering mouth wash brand has been ordered to spend $10 in corrective advertising over the years to account for false claims including "declaring itself a cure-all for common cold ailments like sore throats and coughs, a dandruff preventative, an anti-shave tonic, and a safe way to protect yourself from cuts, bruises, wounds, and stings".
Listerine, why so greedy? You're still a great mouth wash!
For some real anti-shave tonics and effective post-shave concoctions visit the Fendrihan Shaving Shop.
