Does nicotine have cleaning, whitening, or antimicrobial properties? ...
Nicotine provides None of those benefits. In fact, it tends to do the Opposite. But it is Highly Addictive. So what would be a Better thing to add to your Product to Increase Repeat Sales?
Adding Nicotine to toothpaste actually started in the 70's with operation "Finger Bowl". Which as a Super Secrete Clandestine plan the executive at Palmolive cooked up in conjunction a handful of Rouge Board Members at Philip Morris.
According to some Recently declassified documents, operation "Finger Bowl" involved lacing Palmolive Dish Soap with Nicotine and then promoting soaking of Housewives Hands in the tainted solution
thru a National Ad Campaign.
Things went well and Smoking Rates steadily increased among households without Dishwashers in the 70's and 80's. But then Jan Miner uncovered what was happening and Blackmail both Palmolive and Philip Moris. After 10 years of Blackmail payments and diminishing ad returns, operation "Finger Bowl" was Shut Down in the late 90's.
But things didn't end at this point. Because around the turn of the millennium, a New Crop of more aggressive Corp Execs had emerged at Philip Morris. And they convinced a few like minded Board Members at Colgate to launch a New Nicotine
Supplement for toothpaste called operation "Pearly White".
But this time, they just told the FDA what they were going to do. And the FDA having become a tool of Big
tobacco and Big Pharma had to grit their less than perfectly white teeth and agree that it would be fine.
And that is how Nicotine got into Colgate Toothpaste.
