Countdown to the End

Year ago I wrote the post below(04/30/2009) about how I was using toothpaste that was 20 years old. Well now I am on the last tube and it I am becoming very emotional every time I brush my teeth. I will be entering a new era, where I will have to choose a new brand. Oh how the world is changing. So I am off to explore new brands. I wonder if they sell Ipana, Gleem and Pepsodent at Rite Aid.




I am making a confession today. And the confession is that, I use 20 year old stolen toothpaste. Boy, I feel so much better now that it is out in the open. You see, my brother use to work at a Beechem Products distribution workhouse. During his twenty some years of working there he use to bring home many of their products, that fell off the back of the trucks, like cases of fabric softener, which I now forget the name, and cases of Aquafresh toothpaste. They also would distribute Geritol, Sominex and Serutan, which I never needed or used. The company moved to California and the last case of Aquafresh we got from my brother was 20 years ago. I have been brushing my teeth for 20 years with this toothpaste. I don't even know what the price of toothpaste is today, 75 cents I think.

I see no difference in using this old toothpaste and people are even saying all the time, that I have a smile like Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus of Milli Vanilla. Go figure. I think that I will be able to take this toothpaste to end of my life. And if there is any left, I will gladly pass it along to anyone who would like to have a winning smile like the Bangles or Richard Marx.
