Can Listerine Antispetic Keep Cut Flowers Fresh?
The Fix: Listerine Antiseptic

In Theory: Kills bacteria the way it kills plaque and halitosis.

Day 1: A capful of mouthwash is poured into the water.

Day 4: The stems are mostly upright and the tulips are beginning to open.

Day 7: This wild bunch seems to be heading in every possible direction.

The Verdict: Not much to smile about.
