CREST WHITESTRIPS INTRODUCES A REVOLUTIONARY NEW TEETH WHITENING TECHNOLOGY
About Crest Whitestrips: Crest is proud to introduce its most advanced innovation in teeth whitening technology: New Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. This groundbreaking adhesive formulation temporarily molds the strip to users’ teeth, allowing them to easily talk and even drink water for convenient whitening anywhere, anytime. The secure fit comes off clean after whitening, leaving no mess behind. Achieving a beautiful, whiter smile is now easier than ever.
“We developed the new Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal to address the unmet consumer need for teeth whitening that truly fits every consumer’s smile and life,” says Sunny Jain, Associate Marketing Director, North American Oral Care. “Because this revolutionary new technology allows for a great fit and seal, users can have the confidence to whiten anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re on-the-go, talking on the phone or drinking water, new Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal allows you to go about your day without interruption, all while achieving your most beautiful, whiter smile.”
Crest Whitestrips has leveraged innovative CorplexTM technology to create a moisture-activated, solid-gel formulation that provides advanced adhesion to fit every person’s unique smile, all while delivering the same level whitening results as the existing family of Crest Whitestrips products. These new strips provide three significant benefits:
1. High-performance whitening with the same safe and effective whitening ingredient that dentists use to remove surface stains and those below the tooth enamel;
2. A better fit with instant adhesion to teeth allowing users to go about their daily lives including talking and even drinking water;
3. No mess left behind thanks to the new, advanced design. Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal is the perfect fit for any life and every smile!
New Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal technology features four unique layers in one thin, flexible strip to deliver Crest’s dramatic whitening and an improved user experience: (1) The special outer layer holds the strip securely on teeth; (2) The whitening layer delivers the same high-performance whitening ingredient used by professionals; (3) The inner mesh layer keeps the whitening ingredient firmly on teeth, preventing gel from spreading to other areas of the mouth; (4) The final release liner provides the strips with stable backing for easy application. Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal is designed to conform and mold to the shape of your teeth and is worn for 30 minutes a day, for two weeks, anytime, anywhere – even while talking and drinking water!
“By using Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, you can whiten your teeth while going about your daily life without interference,” says Dr. Robert Gerlach, Global Clinical Research Scientist at Procter & Gamble. “Advanced Seal combines the best of physics, chemistry and biology. The CorplexTM mesh and polymer combination are a perfect balance to hold the strip in place. Activated by natural mouth moisture, the Advanced Seal technology provides instant adhesion and immediately molds to teeth. After use, it is easily removed with no mess.”
Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal will be available nationwide anywhere Crest products are sold for a suggested retail price of $45.00. Each kit will contain 14 doses of whitening.

Gaming for Homes
Donna Kalman, president of the Perfect Place, wants to change the way homes are sold — by “giving” them away. Her company has been providing short-term furnished apartments to clients in South Florida for 20 years, and at the beginning of September, it began its first give-away contest, through the Perfect Place Contest,
In a down market, instead of struggling to sell a home to one buyer, she hopes to get back the cost properties through the contests, by charging an entry fee of $1-$25 depending on the home . Homes are not given away until the cost or appraised property value of each home is reached through fees paid by contestants, thereby giving homeowners the base value of their homes.
The tremendous interest to list homes of homeowners, from every every state, has resulted in an improved and upgraded website, preparing to be launched. www.perfectplacecontest.com will now categorize states and properties, parcels of land and businesses. Players will be able to use the website almost as if it were a multiple listing real estate site. The properties may be listed by a Realtor or the home owner. The players will have a huge varied choice of what prize they wish to play for.
The competitions were set to end 30 days after the September 1st start-date, but Kalman has extended the contests to because the property values weren’t reached through the entries. She said she also lowered the contest entry fees in response to feedback from players, who wanted more opportunities to play.
Eric Weldon of Menu Realty, whose client owns the Q Club property, said that if owners attempted to sell a property through a bank, it could likely sell the property at a loss. The contest is an effort for owners to gain the full value for their homes.
“It’s not about the sellers making a profit in a down market. It’s about breaking even. They need to sell for x-amount of money to pay off a mortgage,” said Weldon.
If the homes are not given away in the given time period, the top three competitors will win American Express Gift Cards depending on the number of entries. The owners will then be free to sell the homes traditionally, but Kalman seems willing to extend the contests further, as she expects it to take at least a few months before homes are successfully given away.
This isn’t the first home giveaway contest that has taken place.
A New York Times article described the growing popularity of real estate games, where homes are raffled off and given away. Setting up such contests of chance can be difficult, because many state regulations do not allow the use of raffles unless the owner is partnered with a non-profit organization, in addition to owners not making more than the appraised value of their homes.
Because the Perfect Place Contest chooses winners based on skill, it has greater leeway. The Office of the Florida Attorney General stated that according to Florida’s gambling laws, contests of skill are legal as long as all rules are disclosed.
