You know that every toothpaste basically says the same thing-cavity protection, teeth whitening, great taste, a fresh mouth, tongue cleaner-wait, that’s on the toothbrush, and whatnot.
Yet I don’t believe toothpaste really fulfills my expectations. So mouthwash and dental floss and Waterpiks™ came into the universe. (Hey, maybe micro-organisms from other planets are pouring some sort of Listerine™ on themselves. Who knows!)
Toothpaste must please the people, not use propaganda to persuade the people. (My cousin studies everything that starts with a P-propanganda, persuasion, people, People’s Republic of China, where I call home of the ancestors of me-and no, her name is Maggie, not Patty!)
For example, taste. Bleh. When I was little, the Oral-B™ Fluoride-free Toothpaste for Infants and Toddlers were flavored like berries. After every brushing session, I would eat a quarter of the tube. Ahh, blissful memories!
And NOW???
NOW, we have mint mint mint. Spearmint, Peppermint, Freshmint, Cinnamint. And gum also had that ‘mint rush’. Yes, they have bubble gum too, but it doesn’t really taste good. I remember times when I threw up on mint. Luckily I found a solution-Crest™ Toothpaste with Scope™ Citrus Flavor.
To be Continued….my rant of expectations.
