Toothpaste

Call me crazy but I am very particular about my toothpaste. And the toothpaste I like best I buy at the Dollar Tree (dollar store). It is not some crazy off brand either. It's Colgate whitening in gel form. I love it and I save some money too. I also buy my toothbrushes there since they sell the ones I like and it's a name brand too. Anyway last week I ran out of toothpaste but I did not have time to go to the Dollar Tree. Instead while I was at K-mart I bought Colgate toothpaste. I thought it was the same or at least similar to the other stuff that I wouldn't notice the difference. It was the most VILE toothpaste I have ever used! It was like brushing with a moldy, mossy flavored paste with just a tiny bit of mint thrown in. I honestly thought I was going to gag. After choking through the brushing my tongue felt weird until I gave in to the urge and drank some juice. And I could smell that moldy, mossy scent whenever I talked. There was no fresh breath to be had.

Needless to say I was back at the toothpaste savior (Dollar Tree) begging to be saved with minty fresh breath and clean teeth. I don't understand how toothpaste could 1. taste so rank and 2. be so different from one variety to another. The only thing I can think of is that the one from the dollar store is a gel and the one from K-mart was a paste. That's it. That's the only difference I can come up with that doesn't involve my being poisoned by nefarious schemers bent on destroying a stay-at-home mom. Stay away from the paste. You have been warned!Toothpaste bent on my destruction
Good toothpaste

Imagine my surprise...after posting about my lovely toothpaste I had the urge to wallow in minty freshness again...BUT I discovered that the current toothpaste that I love so much is actually a paste not a gel! So this means their really are nefarious schemers out there!

Also- "their" and "there" mean two different things. I hate when others do it and, darn it all, I just did it.
