Win a 3 Month Supply of Colgate Wisp [giveaway]
True Story: Last year at BlogHer Food I was lunching with some fellow food bloggers down by the Ferry Building in San Francisco between sessions. I ate some delicious Mahi Mahi tacos, which I hope to recreate at home some day. After lunch, I pulled out a WISP disposable toothbrush from my purse. I didn’t want fishy taco breath the rest of the day and wouldn’t be able to go up to my room to brush before the next session started.
I asked my lunch companions if they’d used WISP before. Nope. They’d never seen them. So like the dork that I am, I passed toothbrushes all around. Everyone thought they were so cool. Susan from Food Blogga even mentioned WISP in her 9 Things I Learned at BlogHer Food 2010 post because “you want people to remember what you said, not what you ate.”
Say Cheese!
The moral of the story? Always carry WISP disposable toothbrushes in your purse and make sure you’ve got extra for friends. I can’t tell you the number of times these things have saved the day for me. No more embarrassing food stuck in my teeth after eating a delicious meal.
They’re also great with my kids. No more: “I forgot to brush my teeth!” as we pull away from the house. WISP to the rescue!
More About WISP:
- Colgate WISP has a built-in freshening bead that releases minty freshness as you brush. The freshening liquid gives you clean, cool breath with no need for rinsing.
- Use the mini brush head to brush your teeth, then turn it around and use the pick at the handle base for the spaces between your teeth.
- 5 fun flavors: Coolmint, Cinnamint, Spearmint, Peppermint, and Ice Bubble.
- Available in a 4 – pack (suggested retail: $2.49) and 16 – pack (suggested retail: $7.99)

So I seen your post and could’nt resist to post. I LOVE, LOVE Colgate Wisp’s. Recently my Grandmother passed away from Cancer. We stood vigil at the hospital for days and being from a family of mostly Aunts all the girls stayed night and day. My Aunts were worried the first morning about being able to brush their teeth. I pulled the wisp’s out of my purse and gave each of them one. They LOVED them. It was so convienent so later that day I went to Walmart and bought a big box so that we would have them when we needed them… Sooooo convienent and no stinky breath with all the visitors we had.

This CANNOT be a coincidence…
First of all, I just found your blog and I love it! It has such a great variety of posts. So, you are now on my favorites list.
Second coincidence, I have never purchased Wisps because I thought there were pricey. But, I live in Alabama and we got hit by one of the most devastating tornadoes in history two weeks ago. Volunteers were coming around handing out ziplock bags full of personal care items to help the tornado victims freshen up because we had no power plus half the houses on my road were just gone. Well, my bag had a package of Wisps in them! And I LOVE them. Perfect when out and about all day and you get that “fuzzy sweater feeling” on your teeth late in the day. I normally chew doublemint to keep my breath fresh but that doesn’t help the “sweaters.”
So, I would love to win this giveaway !

I used to pop altoids like candy throughout the day. Now that I have Invisalign, I try to brush after every meal.
[Reply]
My son uses Colgate Wisps whenever he is away from home. He has invisalign and wants to keep his teeth clean after each meal. Wisp comes in handy when he needs to clean his teeth.
