Has anybody tried this? It looks like a good concept, and is really inexpensive.

You'll probably get widely conflicting opinions about this. It's really only the same basic question that has been argued to death here about keeping reeds humidified vs. letting them dry out between playings. The only thing different here is the suggestion to use Listerine instead of water (I suppose you could even ignore that part and use tap or distilled water instead). That will generate a whole other layer of responses for and against. At $22.50 (USD) it *is* relatively inexpensive. You'd get a more reliable idea of whether it works as well in practice as it seems to conceptually if you just spring for one and try it for awhile.
If you want to humidify your reed storage, there are lots of competing ways to do it. The only way to find where your preference lies (there is no right or wrong approach - the choice between humidifying and not is a question of trade-offs) is to experiment for yourself.

I used one for a couple of months and ended up with moldy reeds upon returning from a week's vacation. I threw it away as well. The Rico/D'Arrio case with humidity control package works very well for me, and my reeds don't taste like Listerine.

I use a D'Addario case as well. I was just wondering because this the first time I've heard of this product.
Thanks,
