Glister

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Glister is a term that can refer to various subjects, including a brand of oral care products, a literary reference, or a general term for something that shines or glitters. This article will explore these different contexts.

Oral Care Products

Glister is a brand of oral care products manufactured by Amway. The product line includes toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes, and dental floss. The brand is known for its focus on dental hygiene and is marketed as providing comprehensive oral care solutions.

Products

  • Toothpaste: Glister toothpaste is formulated to fight cavities, remove plaque, and whiten teeth.
  • Mouthwash: The mouthwash is designed to freshen breath and kill bacteria that cause bad breath.
  • Toothbrushes: Glister toothbrushes come in various designs to cater to different dental needs.
  • Dental Floss: The dental floss is used to remove food particles and plaque from between teeth.

Literary Reference

The term "glister" is famously used in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. In Act II, Scene VII, the line "All that glisters is not gold" is spoken by the character Prince of Morocco. This phrase has since become a well-known proverb, often quoted as "All that glitters is not gold," meaning that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so.

General Term

In general usage, "glister" is an archaic term that means to shine or glitter. It is synonymous with words like "sparkle" and "gleam." The term is less commonly used in modern English but can still be found in literary and poetic contexts.
