When i was a kid stores sold a toothpaste for all the different age ranges, and they’d add a colour each time you got a bit older like you were graduating to another aspect of tooth protecion. As such, I never actually experienced such a brutal wake-up call as this image suggests, because strange machinations were put in place to ween me off kiddy toothpaste… and now I’m wondering if this was a marketing scheme or if my parents actually did hunt down training wheels toothpaste to ease me into things.
For us it’s the reverse experience as you grow older the fewer stripes and colors in your toothpaste.
I’m down to just white in the morning and just blue at night.
Wish mine did that lmao. I got the crest whitener the night after my bubblegum flavored one
I recently tried my 3 year old niece’s tooth paste and it was sickly sweet. I guess I can’t go back.
Trying my dads original flavor Listerine.
The brown one?!?
That would be it.
Oh no. That shit could take the copper oxides off the Statue of Liberty and make that bitch shine like she was new.
There was a brown one? I remember the gold/yellow colored one but have not seen it in years.
Ahh, they call it brown, but might be the same. https://www.rd.com/article/brown-listerine/
My parents used cinnamon toothpaste. Vile stuff.
What are they, Fremen?!
oh the real stuff is Euthymol. It’s antiseptic flavor.
I loved cinnamon toothpaste as a teenager, and so did my wife. So, we decided to buy a tube. Needless to say, I remember it tasting much better.
Close-up? My dad used that stuff, yuck
My aunt had something like that I think. But for some reason it was salty as well? That was so bad.

Toothpaste never bothered me. But icy hot… dear lord did I have regrets
You brushed your teeth with Icy Hot?
I would have had many more regrets if I’d done that! This was just on my back, thankfully
Others have put icy hot on their scrotum, much to their near-death regret.
No.
OK, Anakin… you act like it’s sand or something…
this looks like a rough part of town
