Leaflets

Do you experience pain from contact with hot and cold, sugary foods or simply brushing? If so, then you’re like one in four people suffering from sensitivity.  What’s behind sensitive teeth?Teeth are protected by a hard layer of enamel. When this is damaged, worn away or when gums recede, the dentine underneath is exposed and unprotected. This dentine contains tiny tubules – microscopic cracks – that allow sensations to seep straight to the nerve, causing pain and discomfort. The level of pain can vary, from mild to sharp, sudden throbs. How Colgate Sensitive worksArmed with proven, active Potassium citrate, Colgate Sensitive goes to work instantly on your teeth, penetrating the tubules inside the teeth and reducing nerve stimulation fast. Building a protective shield, it soothes – even eliminates – aggravating tooth pain.

Video for Predis mini-site to convey benefits of dry decontamination

Inside of a fully stocked grocery-store shelf with all sorts of bottles and brands. JOE: Hey, you’re the new guy, right? MARVIN: Yes, hello. JOE: So, is it, uh… is it true what they been sayin?’ MARVIN: What have they been saying? JOE: You know, that you’ve never been, uh… you know… bathed. MARVIN: Oh. Yes, this is true. Suddenly we hear loud gasping noises of astonishment from the other bottles. JOE: Really? Then how come you’re all clean and ready for sale like the rest of us? MARVIN: Because I was sterilized with Predis, an innovative new dry-decontamination system by Sidel. JOE: You mean, no water? MARVIN: That’s right.

JOE: Wow! What was that like? MARVIN: I don’t remember. It happened when I was… (pauses to think) …very small. JOE: Really? How small? MARVIN: I was just a little pre-form – no bigger than three inches. We hear a bunch of kindhearted expressions like people would make when they see a picture of a cute baby. JOE: Wow, what a story. Why did they do that to you? MARVIN: Because it’s efficient, economical and better for the environment. And best of all, my contents last as long as yours – whether in a refrigerator or on a room-temperature shelf like this one. So it’s just as secure as the old-fashion way! JOE: (a bit offended) Hey, who you callin’ old-fashion? Suddenly, a customer’s hand reaches into the shelf to take MARVIN. MARVIN: Sorry, I’ve got to run. PREDIS logo slowly appears on screen.“Predis. Purifies pre-forms. Doesn’t use water.”

Mini-site introduction for Sidel’s NoBottle

ACTRESS: Now more than ever, the fate of the planet is in our hands. To protect it, we need to rethink the way we make things. We need to face the fact that plastic will have a major impact on our future. Why? Because the PET resin used in most plastic bottles is principally composed of petroleum, an increasingly limited fossil resource. We see an oil well, then an arrow, then a plastic bottle. ACTRESS: In the past several years, bottled-water consumption has skyrocketed. And, naturally, so has the mass manufacturing and disposal of plastic bottles. The plastic bottles multiply rapidly. ACTRESS: It’s time to weigh in with real solutions! As before, new title appears on the side of the screen in the same shabbily composed black-marker typeface, jumping forward like out of a 1930s film: Chapter 2 - How? ACTRESS: To reduce the burden plastic places on our environment, Sidel has decided to lighten up… (sucking in tummy to symbolize getting slimmer) On plastic! Actress turns around and grabs a classroom pointer as she makes her way over to a virtual chalkboard. ACTRESS: Why? Well, it’s basic math, really. The chalkboard rapidly fills up with complex formulas. (cont…)

Watch at www.no-bottle.com

ACTRESS: The less plastic we use, the less petroleum we consume – and the less plastic we throw out. The only dilemma is, until now, no one’s been able to create a truly lightweight bottle without compromising on performance, reliability and design. (pause, smiling) But fortunately, that’s changed! New title appears but is then quickly crossed off and replaced by an alternative word:Chapter 3 - Problem? Solution! ACTRESS: Being lighter has typically been a sign of fragility. So Sidel had to devise an innovative process to preserve bottle strength. Actress turns to the side and signals with her finger to invite someone, or something, to join her. Then NoBottle appears. ACTRESS: Introducing NoBottle. It’s ultra-light with a captivating design. But when it comes to performance, it’s no lightweight! Thanks to a flexibly robust design, NoBottle can handle getting banged around – without getting all bent out of shape! Actress takes NoBottle in her hand and presses on it once or twice. NoBottle buckles for an instant but then quickly glides back into its original shape. ACTRESS: That’s because it’s designed with a special new technology called Flex, based on “Shape Memory”. Shape Memory enables NoBottle to spring back to its original shape. ACTRESS: And that’s the story behind NoBottle, the first plastic bottle weighing in at a mere 9.9 grams. That’s almost 40% lighter than the typical plastic bottle on the market today. (smiling) This package really measures up! (pause) Want to learn how you can lighten up with NoBottle? Then enjoy your visit.
