Wine Wipes

Anyone who’s ever over-indulged in the reds at a wine party, and found themselves frightened by their own dark smiles in the candid photos that were taken that night, can now find relief in a new product called Wine Wipes. It’s an Oxy pad for teeth that promises to remove the red wine stains from your toothy grin.

In a small container not unlike a compact of blush (it even has a mirror on the underside of the lid), the round wipes are to wine-stained teeth what moistened towelettes are to fingers after a rack of barbecued ribs. These things actually work, and the container is small enough to slip into a pocket or a handbag.

Just find a private place to use them, because there’s really no graceful way to scrub your teeth with these in public—it’s less subtle than blowing your nose. Wine wipes don’t taste any too pleasant, but still, the chance to avoid purple teeth in mixed company makes this clever novelty worth looking into.
