    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.
