I reuse mouthwash.

Finally some good fucking unpopular opinions.

Also you're gross and I hope no one ever kisses you.

I only fill the bath tub once a year. When I’m done cleaning myself I rinse off in the tub and then use it again the next day. I don’t get why people think this is disgusting since the soap will stick to all the bad stuff and keep it off me. Sometimes I’ll even pour some mothwash in there so the alcohol will kill the germs.

That’s what you sounds like. Take my disgusted upvote.

High five, don't put it theree

It has already been there oncee

You don't get food poisoning from the bugs, you get food poisoning from the toxin shit they leave behind. That's why you can't leave a burrito out and expect it to be safe when you microwave it.

The point is, yummy toxin juice goes in your mouth every day. For the sake of me having to think about this, just save your money buying mouthwash in bulk and spit in the sink. Take your upvote and reuse it like floss or something.

Ship of theseus.

If you swallow a bit of mouth wash everytime you rinse your mouth and a bit of your salive accumulates in the container, at some point, it's gonna 100% saliva (or mouth wash flavored saliva) . Question is, will it still be the same mouthwash by then?

I would pay the $0.05 for a fresh dose of mouthwash.

Also, you defeated the purpose of mouthwash - to make you less disgusting.

The problem with that is it doesn’t kill all bacteria. Mouthwash isn’t as strong as you think. Which is why mouthwash is meant to be used AFTER you brush, so that it kills some remaining bacteria and debris.

Not only that but you mix in things like saliva, water and more germs, so germs keep accumulating inside the bottle. And it gets worse and worse.

The germs that survive that( which may not seem like a lot but some will inevitably will) are being thrown back and forth. Meaning you aren’t cleaning your mouth at all.

This isn't even an opinion, it's flawed logic that fundamentally violates the conservation of energy principle, the first law of thermodynamics.

Chemical reactions use up one or more resources to produce one or more resulting resources, like mixing ingredients in baking. Once you make a loaf of bread, I guarantee you you have less flour. A fire won't keep burning the same log.

Some of the mouthwash is surely chemical reactions in your mouth, and others are intended to kill bacteria but can still be used up. Eventually, what you're working with is dyed spit and useless solutes.

I guess that's true, to a certain extent..? Although I don't think it would last for a year and retain the same properties. I mean, it's gotta mix with your saliva and some tiny bits of whatever that won't ever disintegrate into nothing, right? And that builds up slowly over time?

bruh

I could see this being reasonable in unusual circumstances and in the short term, like if you're camping or don't have much running water.

But this is the exactly like cleaning yourself with dirty water even though you used soap. Some dirt is gonna get left on, because you used dirty water.
