Perlweiss Beauty Perls


C'mon! These ads get worse with every generation. First, it was the dentist's female, young, blond assistant. After that, it was the dentist's young, blond wife. Now it's the dentist's young, blond daughter. All of them spoke as if they were dumb, or had a disability to compound normal german sentences. But maybe the stuff paralyzed their tongues. *snickers*

"My father noticed first, that my teeth are whiter now. But then he is a dentist. Here, with Perlweiss Beauty Perls, I said. That was a surprise for him." Imagine girl speaking with monotone, daft voice, not to mention the absolutely handicapped accentuation! Well, the company really tried to find genuine daughters of dentists, and unfortunately, it seems, they haven't been born to rehearse advertising lines. (Same ad runs simultanously with same text, but a dentist mother - er - Lady dentist's daughter! Haven't seen the ad yet "my son is a dentist, and he wondered, how my false teeth could be soo white..." *giggle*)
Okay, let's have a closer look at the ad:
- Style... forget the style. Pretend you didn't notice.
- So Daddy's a dentist. Is it of higher value, if a dentist notices that his daughter has whiter teeth? Is it less worth if your best freind notices? Does your daddy get a bad reputation then, as having not noticed first?!
- Well, well. Surely a dentist, who took on six years of med school, went on schooling seminars, get's flooded by maany representatives of the health products industry every year anew, getting presented new products regulary..., surely this dentist will be delighted and astonished by this yet undiscovered jewel of - over-the-counter/ bought-in-the-supermarket/ found at Aldi/ Walmart/ Woolworths - revolutionary drugstore products!
- I'm sure he was genuinly surprised. My father, being medically educated himself, is also always excited when I declare that I found out, that it is actually good to eat wholemeal bread instead of white bread, and that I found some in the supermarket! Woo!

Because dentists would never recommend this paste, the affiliates around them have to do it, here assistants, wifes, daughters. Although they have no more qualification to estimate the quality or efficiency of a dental care product than any of us non-dentist-affiliated people, spectators believe it easier, because the association to the dentist is strong enough to create this feeling of being given a qualified and professional advice. After all, we have been taught that doctors know what is good for us. Yeah, sure. So, me being the daughter of a doctor, and the girlfriend of a vet, I'm surely qualified to praise lots of different products. Hmm, lets see... er...get yourself...hmmm, there's sooooo much I could recommend (all of which the two mentioned, certificated meds in my surrounding could disagree with, but hey, it's me, the dr's daughter! I MUST know! Daddy's name mentioned qualifies me for everything! I'll post the list when I've set up my own health store *grin*
Also available amongst others: "Raucher Perls" for smokers.
I don't believe it really does the trick. Why do people bleach their teeth, anyway? They naturally come in different shades. People should get more self confidence in their smile - white, ivory or yellowish. And if you really can't live with your deep shade of only-nearly-white, then go and have a professional bleach job done by your real dentist - it apparently holds for a year, and if you have money to waste, go for it. But smoking and constantly whitening your teeth sounds like bullshit to me.

But today's commercial world shows you that there's always a way to fix the problem, even if you create the problem yourself!
In an antacids commercial, a person with heartburn -that is caused by fatty or wrong food from the previous meal- declines the invitation to a dinner, referring to his problem. But, hey! Just pop a tablet, the friend suggests, quick relief is near! And off they go to the restaurant. Duh! People. Listen. To. Your. Body. If you have problems from eating wrong, don't continue, doctoring your way about with these over the counter medications. Get yourself a better diet. Consult a doctor. If you have yellow teeth as a smoker, quit. If you have a sweet smile, smile whatever colour you display (unless it's really scary) - white teeth alone can't make a boring smile more exciting!
If you still want to listen to what blondie here says, or if you want to see the pic in it's original context, you can google perlweiss and go to their homepage. Gosh, and take the time to look at the colour scale at the picture's bottom. No one has teeth as dark as on the right side!
