Simon Cowell has confused fans by posting a plea to Listerine on social media, begging the company to bring one of its original products back to the UK.
On Instagram, the music industry mogul shared a short clip of himself in his bathroom holding an empty bottle of the Listerine Original mouthwash.
“I’ve run out of Listerine,” Cowell began, speaking in a serious tone. “This is the original. You don’t sell it anymore in the UK, I don’t know why because it’s the best.
“Could you please, please bring it back? I’m begging you.”
In the caption, Cowell tagged the American brand and wrote: “@LISTERINE I’VE COMPLETELY RUN OUT, PLEASE BRING IT BACK TO THE UK !!!!!!!”
The post has baffled the 63-year-old’s 2.2 million followers, many of whom have commented underneath asking him why he felt compelled to share it.
“Best Ad ever,” commented Canadian comedian Howie Mandel.
“Seriously??…I can send u some from this side of the world Simon,” a fan wrote.
“I’d be happy to ship you some from Canada….” another offered.

Some people even questioned whether or not it was really him in the video, asking whether it might have been AI.
“Is this really him?” one person asked.
This is AI…no way is that Simon Cowell

“Clever of Listerine to create a viral campaign using AI to generate Cowell’s face. Bravo,” another teased.
The Independent has contacted Listerine for comment.
Cowell’s video comes after he reflected on his 2020 E-bike injury, which resulted in six hours of surgery after he broke his back.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge was testing an electric bicycle at his home in Malibu when the accident happened. He then required surgery to have a metal rod put into his back in order to stabilise it.
“It was painful, it wasn’t great,” he told the TODAY show in an interview in May with fellow America’s Got Talent judges.
“However, I was so unfit before the accident,” he continued. “I didn’t know how unfit I was until I had to do all this stuff afterwards. And I’m like, ‘My God.’ Things like that, I believe happened for a reason.”
When asked whether or not the accident meant he would stop cycling, Cowell replied: “I’m still gonna stay on my bike. I’m obsessed with these things.”
This is despite the fact that Cowell had a second crash in 2022 on a road near his west London home.
How to Turn $800 into a Multi-Million Dollar Business
My co-host of the first Land Geek podcast, Jeran Fraser started with only $800 and turned it into a multi-million dollar business. (Do you remember that podcast? If not, you can listen to the archive here.) Jeran started with:
- No college education
- No experience in real estate
- And just $800 he borrowed from his Mom to buy some land at a tax sale auction
How many people do you think are looking for more financial security in these turbulent times? Land is security.
Land always has an inherent value, no matter what happens to the economy. In fact, when I started flipping land part-time, I convinced my wife that I wasn’t crazy by telling her that even if I couldn’t sell a property, at least we owned land!
How many people do you know who started a business, and then a year or two later, all they have to show for it is a garage full of unsold inventory collecting dust? That won’t happen with land – you will always have something of value.
A lot of people ask me, “Mark, how have you been able to buy and sell thousands of acres and thousands of parcels?” The answer to that question is simple. I’ve created very efficient systems for each facet of this business. Everything from Due Diligence, to Deal Flow, to Marketing is streamlined to make the best use of my time. And guess what – I’ve trained a few virtual assistants to handle 90% of my work!
Do you think Richard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, spends his days whipping up frappuccinos and making cute designs in latte foam? Of course not! He’s busy working on his systems to make his business better. One of the best things about the land business is that you don’t have to do all of the work.
Sure, in the beginning you will need to do most of the work yourself. You need to understand how everything works before you can train someone else to do it, right? But once the money starts flowing in, I’ll show you how to hire virtual assistants to do the tedious work for you. Then, you’ll be able to focus on the activities that add to your bottom line – like Deal Flow and Marketing.

How do you feel about systems and automation? Do you think it would be smart to put together a process one time, and then watch it scale to levels you never dreamed would be possible? I teach my students to Work Smart, which means you will spend most of your time working ON the business and not IN the business.
