Can you buy original Listerine in glass anymore?
I grew up with original Listerine. Can you still get it in a glass bottle? Have you considered doing a throw back bottle? I am not alone in wanting the glass bottle back this much I know.

Listerine Original Flavor Has Changed
Recently, the flavor of Listerine Original seems to have changed. It’s not the original flavor anymore! For those of us who liked the original flavor, whatever J&J is selling now is bad. Terrible. Awful. The worst! From a “banks of the old Raritan” alumni, please change it back!

No longer the original formula
Just don’t buy until Listerine decides to honor what people expect when they spend their hard earned money and buy this product.....THE ORIGINAL FORMULA.
There is no reason to expect that Johnson and Johnson will do so. They will continue to act as if this must be some era or mistake by lot number knowing full well they made the decision to change this product for whatever reason with no plans to change it back.

Has the Original formula changed?
I have been an avid Listerine user for years! I love all the new flavors but have used the original since I was a child. I recently purchased a bottle from my local Target (original flavor) and was terribly disappointed when I tried it! It tasted like poison! I know all the Listerine products are strong but there is something seriously off about this one.....what has changed?

Great mouthwash
This is the only mouthwash I use. I was horrible at flossing when I was younger, so now paying the price. This mouthwash has been a savior. It is very strong and might smell a little medicinal but, it works.

Terrible Taste and Smell
I purchased two large bottles of Original Listernine. Expiration dates are 08/22 and 07/22. I cannot use them. They are terrible. The smell is a sour almost sewage smell, not the usual fresh Listerine smell. The taste is a rotten taste, and when I used it, it caused my mouth and tongue to be covered in blisters. I have used original Listerine for over 20 years. Now I have two full bottles I can't use, and I am afraid to purchase others because I worry they are going to be the same way. What can be done to get the original Listerine back?

and told me they would not be publishing my review.
Buy at your own risk ....Its tastes different and bad ,

I have used Listerine original all my life....I opened a new bottle 12-15-2020 and it had a terrible different taste to it almost resembling PEROXIDE.

Do not buy
The current product is ineffective and not the original formula. It’s a generic watered down cheap knockoff of the original.

Not original formula
I have been using original Listerine since I was a child and know better than this latest bottle, purchased from Walmart 2 weeks ago. It more like Walmart’s brand being sold as the Listerine brand. It’s not the same effects. Original Listerine can be deluded if you need to for small children, this bottle is weak and taste awful. I’m here to advise the manufacturer that if you are switching the formula for whatever reason you will lose customers and ruin an American brand that’s been around for decades. I suggest you stop, look into this matter and fix it.

Fantastic Mouth Wash
I had been using Listerine Original Mouth Wash for over 40 years, but I now cannot buy it in the UK. It is the ONLY Mouth Wash that works for me, other Listerine Products are useless! I am a therapist and used the product to ensure I had clean breath when working closely with clients!

Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the original Listerine for years. It always makes my mouth feel clean and fresh without the fruity, sweet flavor that so many mouthwashes have now.

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT FOR EVER, BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE BECAUSE YOUR COMPANY CAN'T KEEP IT ON THE SHELF. IT IS ALWAYS OUT. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT BUT IT'S NEVER ON THE SHELF ANYMORE (IN SAM'SCLUB).

Why can’t you buy Listerine Original in the UK Anymore?
I was a regular user of Listerine Original for over 40 years. It was the only mouthwash available in the UK that wasn’t mint flavoured. Now it has been withdrawn here and it is impossible to find a non mint flavoured mouthwash. Please bring it back.

Bring back the glass bottle
I have been using original listerine for a long time. I love the way it makes my mouth feel and it also helps with a sore throat. One thing I miss is the old glass bottles in the paper or cardboard tubes. Could you please bring those back? :)

Works Incredibly Well
Listerine Original Antiseptic Mouthwash is a godsend for everyone wearing masks during the Covid outbreak. While I have always been a diligent brushed and flosser, I noticed very quickly the smell of my breath when I am wearing a mask. So I tried the original Listerine as directed, and I can wear my mask all day with fresh breath. It works better than I thought it would, and I highly recommend it.

WOW
Listerine really is great. I often find myself in search of the best oral care products and experiment with other brands; however, nothing can beat Listerine. I love it! Personally I prefer their original flavor because I think it is the strongest. While it doesn't have a minty or really a distinct flavor, it cleans the mouth very well and keeps it feeling clean up until you eat.
