Four Out Of Five

Do you know that four out of five dentists recommend Trident sugarless gum, for their patients who chew gum? 

As usual with these strange questions, where I'm weighing whether I can use a particular reference for ANY OTHER FLAME, let me know your age and country, if you don't mind!

Over here (UK) I've heard a similar claim for Orbit gum.

Ach - you are absolutely correct, of course! "Surveyed" was in my mind, but never made it to my fingertips!

34, U.S., and yup ... 5 dentists sitting at a table, the first four press the button that says 'yay!' (or whatever) the 5ths gets whacked in the head by someone chasing a fly, falls over unconscious and his head whacks onto the 'nay!' button.

Why are things like this stuck in my head? There are things so much more useful that could be stuck there...

Yep - I wonder what I could be accomplishing, if I could just do some spring cleaning in there...

I remember that ad well enough to remember everything about it except which brand of gum it was until you reminded me.

Oh, and I'm also familiar with 'whatever happened with that fifth dentist?'

Thanks - I thought that was an interesting advertising campaign, drawing on a vast pool of cultural familiarity... In another life, I'll be a marketing specialist :-)
