I read this article last night, and I got a fun laugh out of it. I even shared it on Facebook because I thought it was funny. Then, I got a little defensive when I went back and saw that the social network brief read, "Colgate brushers have their lives together. Not like those Sensodyne people."
Click here for the original article. It might help to read that one before you read this one.
First off, get out of my bathroom cabinet! You should probably just be using the toilet, washing your hands and getting on your way. Please quit snooping.
I also do not spend too much money on tampons, I get the ones that come in colorful, and most importantly plastic, wrappings due to reasons that are not relevant here. I also have floss sitting on the counter and an extra in the drawer in case I run out. I will not be getting gum disease.
I do not think that you have nailed the type of people we are based on our toothpaste.
1. Sensodyne
Sensodyne people, me being one of them, do not have sticks up our asses. We know Sensodyne is the way to go. Sensodyne ProNamel gentle whitening toothpaste, the one I have used for a couple years now, is def the way to go. Unlike other toothpaste brands, *cough* *cough* crest, Sensodyne doesn’t hurt your teeth and whitens! Fight me. So yeah I don’t like your definition of those who use Sensodyne thanks but no thanks.
2. Two-step toothpaste
I applaud those who use a two-step toothpaste, as they probably get up earlier and go to bed later than those who only brush for 3 minutes. And, they spend way more money on toothpaste than others.
3. Crest
Crest is great and all, but it's the toothpaste your dentist gives you when you visit. It's cheap and gets the job done. Their 3D whitening strips totally rock, but the toothpaste just has to much whitening in it, and that can damage teeth.
4. Colgate
Colgate is good stuff, but I always thought it had an odd minty taste to it. I guess it's something to get used to.
5. Cartoon toothpaste
Cartoon toothpaste is for children, I agree. However, I know many people who still love Club Penguin. Cartoon toothpaste doesn't mean you're a child, but you should probably stop buying it so that the store doesn't run out for the kids.6. Dollar store general brand toothpaste
Not the best toothpaste, I will agree with you there. However, this is all some people can afford, and it cleans teeth like it's supposed to.
7. Mini toothpaste bottles
I actually have tons of these in my drawer. My dentist gives them to me every time I visit. I keep them for when I go on trips, as they are perfect for traveling.
8. Aquafresh
Eh, it's fresh.
9. Baking soda
I know no one who uses this as a daily toothbrushing routine. People use it occasionally to whiten their teeth, and it does work and is, in fact, a healthy way to do it.
10. Charcoal toothpaste
The color honestly deters me away from using this. I think people who do use this use it as a one-time thing to see how, or if, it improves their shiny teeth.
11. Flavored toothpaste
My dog is the only mammal I know who uses bacon flavored toothpaste.12. Marvis
I want to know where the hell you buy this brand of toothpaste. I mean, might as well have your smile be a fashion icon, too.I will end this with my favorite quote, courtesy of my orthodontists' mirror, "You don't have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep." While this quote formed my middle school and high school brushing routine, it has remained true in college. I have found a toothpaste that whitens but is sensitive and does not harm my teeth.
Anyways, the point is this: we are all on the same page here. We all brush our teeth and have good personal hygiene. Whether the bottle of toothpaste has Spongebob on it, or whether it came in a more expensive box, brushing is what matters. Cheers with a healthy smile!
