“She was losing him… and she didn’t know why”
Listerine, 1956
The not so subtle sub-text:
“It’s all my fault! He’s cheating on me because of my bad breath. How could I have been so stupid not to gargle with Listerine at night and avoid all this pain!”
Listerine, 1940
“Go to bed, Stubborn… He’s not going to call!”
Listerine, 1956
Listerine magazine ad, 1951
I wouldn’t worry about it “Honey chile,” it wasn’t your breath; you were obviously barking up the wrong tree.
