A temperature-regulating apparatus is provided to rapidly cool a beverage to a desired temperature. In some variations, the geometry of the temperature-regulating apparatus is configured to rapidly cool a beverage incorporating one or more inner portions that contain a temperature regulating material, such as a phase change material having a high heat capacity. The geometry of the interior of the container may be configured to aid in rapid heat transfer between the beverage therein and the outer shell of the inner portion and may have a length to width aspect ratio of at least 4:1. The inner portion may be formed between the exterior wall of the container and by a single piece of formed metal that extends along the length, width and base walls to form the interior for receiving a beverage. The cavity formed between the outer shell and the exterior wall may be at least 15 mm deep.

A liquid-diffusing filter which can aerate a liquid by diffusing it and thus exposing it to air to oxygenate the liquid. The user can pour a liquid through the device and it comes out diffused. Thus a superior liquid aerating solution is provided that can more simply aerate a beverage.

It has been found that a mouthrinse comprising CPC and zinc ions is a very effective mouthrinse. It has an antibacterial effect that removes odor creating bacteria from the oral cavity. The CPC and zinc ions preferably are used in combination with an ionone terpene such as alpha ionone or a beta ionone.

A dual component chlorhexidine dentifrice composition of improved shelf stability in which the first component is a gel containing a bis-biguanide antibacterial agent in which the gel vehicle is thickened with a cellulose polymer and the second component is a paste containing a silica abrasive wherein the bis-biguanide antibacterial agent provides undiminished antiplaque and antigingivitis effect with reduced staining when the physically separated components are combined and mixed upon application to dental tissue.

Dual component bis-biguanide containing dentifrice of improved stability

A dual component chlorhexidine dentifrice composition in which the first component contains a bis-biguanide antibacterial agent and the second component contains an abrasive incompatible with the bis-biguanide, wherein maximum antibacterial effect on dental tissue with reduced staining is achieved when the components and are physically separated prior to use and are mixed upon application to dental tissue.

Bis-biguanide antiplaque dentifrice exhibiting reduced staining

A natural fiber chewing stick including a plurality of strips of treated natural fibers bonded together, said strips including flavor and other compositions added during processing. Typically, the individual strips used are of jute, but other natural fibers may be used.

Chewing stick made from natural fibers

An edible pet chew product having a flexible cellular matrix in which is contained a cellulosic fibrous material such as corn cob fractions having a mechanical cleansing function, which when chewed by the pet, effects a reduction in plaque, stain and tartar on the pet's teeth. An oral care additive may be incorporated in the matrix to inhibit dental problems, the composition of the cellular matrix being substantially inert to the oral care additive.

Pet chew product having oral care properties

Plaque disclosing compositions containing a cobalamin compound such as Vitamin B.sub.12 as the disclosant and the process of treating the oral cavity therewith.

Composition for disclosing dental plaque

Plaque is inhibited and oral hygiene promoted including reduction in caries formation by dispersing emulsan in water and contacting the aqueous dispersion with dental surfaces. Emulsan may be dispersed in dental preparation toothpaste or mouthwash.
