Toothpaste
Why oh why oh why is it necessary for there to be a bajillion different kinds of toothpaste? They cover an entire wall of my local Walgreens. It's nuts.
Once upon a time, there was Crest, Colgate, and some weird Swedish concoction called Vademacum(?). I always preferred Crest, because it didn't make my eyes water. Now I have to decide between flouride, whitening, sensitive gum, breath freshener (or any conceivable combination of those), and an absolutely crazy selection of flavors. AND all those things are available in about 20 different brands.
And of course, there is a bizarre array of freaky-looking toothbrushes.
I believe in dental hygiene, but for cryin' out loud. Who knew it could be so stressful? What if I make the wrong choice?

don't worry, Mom!
Anna bought some "green tea mint" toothpaste the other day. It's odd because it's not a flavor most people would get excited about in a toothpaste (cinnamon, orange, vanilla...), so really, they're probably just marketing it for it's purported health benefits (antioxidents). Though, I'm pretty sure you have to consume the product to get any health benefits...so, can I spread it on Ritz?
Also, I thought tea yellowed your teeth? This magic green tea mint says it'll whiten.
(it's kind of gross)

See the thing about a blog, if you want people to look at it, is to put new stuff in it fairly regularly. I will attempt to refer to it from mine, if I can figure out how to put the link in there. Yer brother
I am doing a search for Vademacum and found your blog.
What's odd is that we live 40 miles from each other.
Toodle-Ooo. I will continue searching.
