Read for a college course
Format: Paperback
This is a really fascinating subversion of the tropes of courtly love. Roles generally given to women are given to religion, and quests that in earlier literature are completely external are internalized. I read this for a college course on Arthurian romances and it was definitely one of my favorite books we read. This version has the Middle English (which is difficult Middle English, by the way -- more difficult than Chaucer) on one page and a modern English translation on the facing page.

Quality little package
I’m impressed. This is a good example of doing something simple, but doing it right.
The packaging is great - a simple box with 2 perfectly snug plastic containers inside, each containing a plastic-wrapped tongue scraper. The scrapers felt hefty and sturdy. When I used one, it seemed effective and easy to use. While I haven’t noticed a drastic change in taste, it did visibly scrape off at least some dead cells and mucus or other coating lingering on my tongue even after brushing.
The price was great too. If you want to add a tongue scraper into your dental hygiene routine, I would honestly recommend this one.

You Gotta Fight... For Your Right... To TONNNNNGGUUEEE SCRAPE
I love these tongue scrapers. This was a new years resolution for this year because of all the benefits I have heard about tongue scrapping
1) Removes Bacteria
2) Better Sense of Taste
3) Activates Organs
5) Better Digestion
6) Removes Bad Breath
...to just name a few. This scraper is great quality. Its easy to clean I just run it under hot water for a few seconds after I'm done and I havent seen any gross build up or residue stick. They dont taste funny... they dont taste like anything at all to be honest.

GAMECHANGER
I didn't have terribly bad morning breath prior to using this but after adding this into my night routine, my morning breath is completely gone. Also, spicy foods seem a little more spicy these days and I think that's due to my tastebuds being so much cleaner. It feels refreshing and I highly recommend. Such a simple device, very easy to clean and so easy to take with me for traveling or just storing in my bathroom. I love it and I'm handing them out as gifts to all my family members ;)

Scrape away
Thin and lightweight, this little scraper is worth the low price. It does the job OK. I would like to have a better handle though, as it can slip from your finger's grip. Overall, this is a decent little tool to help clean your tongue.
