The story behind the major motion picture from Disney--starring Chris Pine, Eric Bana, and Casey Affleck--written by a recognized master of the genre--"a blockbuster account of tragedy at sea" (The Providence Journal).

It's the winter of 1952 and a ferocious Nor'easter is pounding New England with howling winds and seventy-foot seas. Two oil tankers get caught in the violent storm off Cape Cod, its fury splitting the massive ships in two. Back on shore are four young Coast Guardsmen who are given a suicide mission. They must save the lives of the seamen left stranded in the killer storm, and they have to do it in a tiny lifeboat. The crew is led by Bernie Webber, who has to rely on prayer and the courage of his three crewmembers to pull off the impossible. As Webber and his crew sail into the teeth of the storm, each man comes to the realization that he may not come back alive. They've lost all navigation and have no idea where the stranded seaman are, and have no idea how to get back home. Whether by sheer luck or divine intervention, the crew stumbles upon the wounded ship in the darkness. More than thirty men appear at the railings of the SS Pendleton, all hoping to be saved. Once again, Webber and his crew face a daunting challenge. How can they rescue all these men with their tiny lifeboat?

Dripping with suspense and high-stakes human drama, The Finest Hours has incredible and astonishing true-to-life heroism and action-packed rescue scenes. This "marvelous and terrifying yarn" (Los Angeles Times) "deserves a place as a classic of survival at sea" (The Boston Globe).

Soothing, moisture-locking oral coat that eliminates morning dryness without burning your mouth
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Standard alcohol-based mouthwashes give a powerful blast of burning freshness, but they completely dry out your tissues and make a lack of natural saliva much worse. Biotene Dry Mouth Oral Rinse fixes this issue entirely by skipping the harsh astringents. It uses a specialized mouth-moisturizing system packed with hydrating humectants like glycerin, xylitol, and sorbitol. This combination creates a slippery, lubricating layer over your gums and cheeks that mimics your natural saliva to keep your mouth comfortable and damp. The daily utility of this formula is perfect if you struggle with persistent stickiness, difficulty swallowing dry foods, or a scratchy throat. It provides immediate relief that keeps working for up to four hours, soothing sensitive oral tissue and actively fighting the bacteria that cause chronic bad breath. The gentle, sugar-free fresh mint flavor leaves you feeling genuinely clean and maintains a healthy, balanced pH level in your mouth to protect your teeth from potential cavities. It is a fantastic, non-burning formula to use right before bed or throughout the day to completely wash away that uncomfortable, parched feeling and wake up with lasting comfort.

Very Helpful for Dry Mouth After Gastric Bypass
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This mouthwash has been very helpful for dealing with dry mouth, especially with the body changes that can happen after gastric bypass surgery. It’s gentle, doesn’t burn like traditional mouthwash, and helps keep my mouth feeling hydrated and fresh. Pros Great for dry mouth: Provides noticeable relief and keeps my mouth feeling moisturized. Gentle formula: No strong burning sensation like alcohol-based mouthwashes. Fresh mint flavor: Clean taste that isn’t overpowering. Large bottle: The 33.8 oz size lasts a long time. Good for post-surgery changes: Works well for dryness that can happen after gastric bypass. Considerations The mint flavor is mild, which some people may prefer, but those who like a strong mint may find it subtle. Best results come from using it regularly. Best For People experiencing dry mouth Post-surgery dry mouth relief Nighttime mouth dryness Anyone wanting a gentle mouthwash without alcohol Final Verdict A great option if you struggle with dry mouth. It’s gentle, refreshing, and provides lasting relief. It has been especially useful during recovery after gastric bypass when dry mouth can be more noticeable.
