–– Breath Feels Fresher Longer Than Your Ordinary Routine ––

CINCINNATI, SEPTEMBER 29, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — For the third consecutive year, Crest and Scope have partnered with Ryan Seacrest, one of Hollywood’s hardest working and most successful on–air talent and producer, to launch the new Outlast trio of products including new Scope Outlast mouthwash, Crest Extra White Plus Scope Outlast toothpaste and Oral–B Floss Picks Plus Scope Outlast flavor.

“I am so thrilled to be teaming up again with Crest and Scope,” said Seacrest. “The new Outlast products are perfect to get me through my hectic work day. Talking – and sometimes even close talking – is my business so having fresh breath and white teeth is essential to everything that I do.”
