During the Bank Holiday sale, bargain hunters can snap up teeth whitening powder for 30% off, slashing the price from £29.99 to £20.99. The product has been sampled and reviewed by over 250,000 customers, who have awarded it an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of five.
Customers have praised the whitening effect, calling it " the best they've ever used." A particularly satisfied 77 year old customer expressed: "I am 77 years old and I bought this thinking it's going to be like everything you see advertised, but to my surprise, it's made my old teeth look amazing. I shall be ordering again."
Another content buyer remarked: "A really great product, not only does it remove stains it makes your teeth much whiter and brighter, it seems to be the only product I've found that actually leaves your teeth feeling clean and fresh. This was my 2nd order. With super speedy delivery as well."
Regrettably, not every shopper reported a positive experience. A less favourable review stated: "I can honestly say I've really not noticed much difference with my teeth. Certainly not with stains or plaque. Would not buy again. Turned out to be an expensive purchase."
Shoppers might also want to check out the PAP Teeth Whitening Strips, boasting the ability to remove deep stains and yellowing in just one week, all without the use of peroxide, avoiding any irritation or sensitivity. These straightforward, grip-friendly strips are designed to offer rapid, evident results while safeguarding your enamel...
With an impressive 4.6 out of five-star customer rating, feedback has been positive. A user commented: "I've tried a lot of whitening strips and MySweetSmile's are by far the best on the market. They stick well, don't slide around, and my teeth are noticeably whiter after just a few uses without any sensitivity when drinking cold water and tea."
Another user shared their experience: "After trying MySweetSmile's whitening powder - I knew i had to try the new PAP Whitening Strips to pair with it. It's safe to say i'm nothing short of amazed. I have gotten compliments on the whiteness and cleanliness of my teeth from family and friends almost daily since the use of these strips! They pair with the powder like magic."
However, not all experiences have been smooth as some shoppers have found removing the strips post-treatment troublesome. One purchaser mentioned: "The strips were a major faff to use".
Responding to this feedback, MySweetSmile recommended leaving 'a small area overhanging to speed up the removal process'.
For those seeking more refined whitening, the MySweetSmile Teeth Whitening Pen, featuring a precision brush tip for spot-targeting stains, is currently at a 30% discount, reducing the price from £24.99 to just £17.49.
Customers who have already purchased the pen have left largely favourable reviews. One shopper stated: "Absolutely love this product I use it with the powder and it makes my teeth look so much whiter and shiny would highly recommend."
Another customer added: "I wasn't expecting this to work much, but it literally brightened my teeth in 1 use, which I was over the moon with. After several uses it has made my teeth alot whiter."
However, the product did not work as well for everyone. One customer mentioned: "I've not had much luck with this. It goes on fine. It's annoying to keep my lips open and off my teeth for so long. I haven't really noticed a difference."
Additionally, discounts are available on bundles, which bring together the most popular products at a reduced price of up to 40% compared to buying them separately. Some notable sale bundles include:
Shoppers looking to take advantage of the sale must act quickly, as deals end on Tuesday, May 27 at 11:59pm. Orders of £40 or more will receive a complimentary upgrade to free next-day delivery, as well as free Fresh Breath Spray.

As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act
Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech 's energy-hungry data centers. It's not clear that any state has a solution and the actual effect of data centers on electricity bills is difficult to pin down. Some critics question whether states have the spine to take a hard line against tech behemoths like Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta. But more than a dozen states have begun taking steps as data centers drive a rapid build-out of power plants and transmission lines. That has meant pressuring the nation's biggest power grid operator to clamp down on price increases, studying the effect of data centers on electricity bills or pushing data center owners to pay a larger share of local transmission costs. Rising power bills are 'something legislators have been hearing a lot about. It's something we've been hearing a lot about. More people are speaking out at the public utility commission in the past year than I've ever seen before,' said Charlotte Shuff of the Oregon Citizens' Utility Board, a consumer advocacy group. 'There's a massive outcry.' Not the typical electric customer Some data centers could require more electricity than cities the size of Pittsburgh, Cleveland or New Orleans, and make huge factories look tiny by comparison. That's pushing policymakers to rethink a system that, historically, has spread transmission costs among classes of consumers that are proportional to electricity use. 'A lot of this infrastructure, billions of dollars of it, is being built just for a few customers and a few facilities and these happen to be the wealthiest companies in the world,' said Ari Peskoe, who directs the Electricity Law Initiative at Harvard University. 'I think some of the fundamental assumptions behind all this just kind of breaks down.' A fix, Peskoe said, is a 'can of worms" that pits ratepayer classes against one another. Some officials downplay the role of data centers in pushing up electric bills. Tricia Pridemore, who sits on Georgia's Public Service Commission and is president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, pointed to an already tightened electricity supply and increasing costs for power lines, utility poles, transformers and generators as utilities replace aging equipment or harden it against extreme weather. The data centers needed to accommodate the artificial intelligence boom are still in the regulatory planning stages, Pridemore said, and the Data Center Coalition, which represents Big Tech firms and data center developers, has said its members are committed to paying their fair share. But growing evidence suggests that the electricity bills of some Americans are rising to subsidize the massive energy needs of Big Tech as the U.S. competes in a race against China for artificial intelligence superiority. Data and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie published a report in recent weeks that suggested 20 proposed or effective specialized rates for data centers in 16 states it studied aren't nearly enough to cover the cost of a new natural gas power plant. In other words, unless utilities negotiate higher specialized rates, other ratepayer classes — residential, commercial and industrial — are likely paying for data center power needs. Meanwhile, Monitoring Analytics, the independent market watchdog for the mid-Atlantic grid, produced research in June showing that 70% — or $9.3 billion — of last year's increased electricity cost was the result of data center demand. States are responding Last year, five governors led by Pennsylvania's Josh Shapiro began pushing back against power prices set by the mid-Atlantic grid operator, PJM Interconnection, after that amount spiked nearly sevenfold. They warned of customers 'paying billions more than is necessary.' PJM has yet to propose ways to guarantee that data centers pay their freight, but Monitoring Analytics is floating the idea that data centers should be required to procure their own power. In a filing last month, it said that would avoid a "massive wealth transfer' from average people to tech companies. At least a dozen states are eyeing ways to make data centers pay higher local transmission costs. In Oregon, a data center hot spot, lawmakers passed legislation in June ordering state utility regulators to develop new — presumably higher — power rates for data centers. The Oregon Citizens' Utility Board says there is clear evidence that costs to serve data centers are being spread across all customers — at a time when some electric bills there are up 50% over the past four years and utilities are disconnecting more people than ever. New Jersey's governor signed legislation last month commissioning state utility regulators to study whether ratepayers are being hit with 'unreasonable rate increases' to connect data centers and to develop a specialized rate to charge data centers. In some other states, like Texas and Utah, governors and lawmakers are trying to avoid a supply-and-demand crisis that leaves ratepayers on the hook — or in the dark. Doubts about states protecting ratepayers In Indiana, state utility regulators approved a settlement between Indiana Michigan Power Co., Amazon, Google, Microsoft and consumer advocates that set parameters for data center payments for service. Kerwin Olsen, of the Citizens Action Council of Indiana, a consumer advocacy group, signed the settlement and called it a 'pretty good deal' that contained more consumer protections than what state lawmakers passed. But, he said, state law doesn't force large power users like data centers to publicly reveal their electric usage, so pinning down whether they're paying their fair share of transmission costs "will be a challenge.' In a March report, the Environmental and Energy Law Program at Harvard University questioned the motivation of utilities and regulators to shield ratepayers from footing the cost of electricity for data centers. Both utilities and states have incentives to attract big customers like data centers, it said. To do it, utilities — which must get their rates approved by regulators — can offer 'special deals to favored customers' like a data center and effectively shift the costs of those discounts to regular ratepayers, the authors wrote. Many state laws can shield disclosure of those rates, they said. In Pennsylvania, an emerging data center hot spot, the state utility commission is drafting a model rate structure for utilities to consider adopting. An overarching goal is to get data center developers to put their money where their mouth is. 'We're talking about real transmission upgrades, potentially hundreds of millions of dollars,' commission chairman Stephen DeFrank said. 'And that's what you don't want the ratepayer to get stuck paying for." ___

Why Trump's tariffs could be a disaster for Brazil's acai industry and American consumers
When U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of 50% on Brazilian exports in July, acai producer Ailson Ferreira Moreira felt immediately concerned. After all, who was going to eat all of that Amazon berry, globally famous as a delicious, refreshing and nutritious superfood, if American consumers suddenly could no longer afford it? As the main importer of the Brazilian berry, prices of acai smoothies and bowls look certain to go up in the United States. 'The acai that's all produced here ... If only people here eat it, it's going to be a lot of acai, right?' Moreira told The Associated Press outside of Belem, an Amazon city of 1.4 million residents that will host this year's U.N. climate summit COP30 climate summi t in November. 'If there's too much acai here, people won't be able to eat it all and the price will drop.' A single full crate of acai sells for around $50 at local markets in Brazil, a price that is now expected to plummet. The U.S. is by far the largest acai importer of a total Brazilian output currently estimated at about 70,000 tons per year. Impact already being felt The most vulnerable acai producers in the northern state of Para say they have already been hit by tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, as a surplus of the berry without a clear destination starts to mount only days after the new economic scenario unfolded. More powerful exporters, such as Sao Paulo-state based company Acai Tropicalia Mix, are also feeling the impact. One of its owners, Rogério de Carvalho, told the AP that last year he exported to the U.S. about 270 tons of acai cream — an industrialized version of the berry — ready for consumption. As tariffs started to loom, he said, American importers steered away and clients suspended negotiations. Until the end of July, de Carvalho estimates that his company sold 27 tons to the U.S. 'That's 1.5 million Brazilian reais ($280,000) that we lost,' the businessman said. 'We are confident there will be a deal between the two countries to allow not only our clients to return, but also getting some new ones.' Tariffs linked to Bolsonaro case Trump has linked the higher tariffs on Brazil to the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is now under house arrest for his alleged role in leading an alleged coup plot to remain in office, despite his election loss to current leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. And despite several Brazilian exports being exempted from the tariffs, acai berries aren't among them. Brazil's industry ministry didn't reply to a request for comment on whether acai berries are among the items that remain on the negotiating table with U.S. trade representatives. Flavor explosion Nearly all of the acai consumed in the U.S. originates from Brazil, with the state of Para alone accounting for 90% of the country's total production. Several communities in the Amazon depend on its harvest. The harvesting of acai is a physically demanding job that requires workers to climb tall trees with minimal safety equipment, and then sliding down branches full of berries to fill baskets and then place them carefully in crates. Analysts say its producers also help protect the rainforest from illegal loggers, miners and cattle ranchers. The night markets of Belem, such as the Ver-o-Peso acai market, are a hub of activity where the freshly harvested berries are brought in by boat and prepared for sale. The Brazilian Association of Fruit and Derivative Producers and Exporters estimates there was an explosive growth of acai exports from Para state, from less than one ton in 1999 to more than 61,000 tons in 2023. Another explosive rise was expected for this year, before the tariffs. On Thursday, Brazil requested consultations at the World Trade Organization over tariffs imposed by the Trump administration against the South American nation that went into effect on Wednesday. That could be took little too late for acai harvester Mikael Silva Trindade, who agrees that the future of the trade is at risk as higher U.S. tariffs can disrupt the delicate balance of supply and demand that holds the industry. 'There will be nowhere to market (the excess of acai),' Trindade told the AP as he picked berries in Para state. 'The more you export, the more valuable it becomes. But if there's too much to sell, it will stay here and become cheap.' ___ Mauricio Savarese reported from Sao Paulo. ___
