Chapter 55 The myriad possibilities of toothpaste

Can toothpaste be eaten?I think it is impossible, not only impossible, but very disgusting. If some readers think that this sentence at the beginning of the article is to suppress the desire to promote, and then to talk about how I fell in love with eating toothpaste later, then you are wrong.Toothpaste until now has been a thing that I have tried my best to resist out of the throat. When I was a child, I went to my grandmother’s house overnight and brushed my teeth with my cousin in the morning. He gulped down a glass of warm water that adults gave him for brushing his teeth. Later, he found the fruit-flavored toothpaste we brought from the city delicious, as smooth as fruit jelly Sweet, so he licked it slowly.This is probably the first thing that "destroys the three views" that I have encountered in my life. I find it unbelievable, it is simply unbelievable.

In the long river of time, the hatred for eating toothpaste by mistake can only intensify.Once, something happened while eating ice powder in Chengdu.I was admiring this soft and light Sichuan snack, and said, "Well, there is also a faint mint flavor", and the accompanying friend said, "Yes, the boss said that they bought mint candies specially, not for I ordered toothpaste." Sitting together eating ice powder, a few other Hong Kong friends and I were stunned—toothpaste! The friend said calmly: "Yes, toothpaste. I always use toothpaste when making ice powder at home."

Fortunately, the boss used mints, otherwise I might pick my throat on the spot, leaning on a small tree by the roadside and retching miserably.In the past, I made a lot of jokes about toothpaste, for example, Saxi soda tastes like toothpaste dropped into Coke, but I didn’t expect toothpaste to actually go into food!I immediately thought of stir-fried beef with toothpaste, braised chicken with cloud fungus with toothpaste, rice with pork ribs with toothpaste, fried toothpaste with celery and lily, fried toothpaste with small farmhouse, boiled shrimp dipped in toothpaste and soy sauce... just thinking about it makes me feel that life is unloved.

To say that the non-food you are most familiar with taste in the world, toothpaste must be the first.Although it is absolutely unacceptable to eat it, it is even more unacceptable to have no toothpaste at home.The toothpaste I used when I was a child was Chinese Wada Seven. The honest and simple family clothes followed the phrase "you must brush your teeth before going to bed" to adolescence. The thick green paste and the strange mint flavor are not very foreign.Later, imported brands such as Crest and Colgate were used. The smiling little beauties on TV and the serious white coats all told you: choose the right toothpaste, and you will be lucky to be loved by everyone.

Toothpaste is something that must be used every day. It has the closest contact with the mouth, and it must be spit out mercilessly. Finally, a few mouthfuls of clean water must be rinsed vigorously to make sure that it does not remain in the mouth at all.If some toothpaste brands have a lot of foam after rubbing, and they keep against my throat, I will feel nauseous. I accidentally swallow a little while breathing, and immediately hold the washbasin to retch in the dark, and the vomiting sound is extremely tragic.If there is a disease called "Toothpaste Syndrome is Clearly Distinct", I must be a deep patient.

When I was in charge of my own home, Lion King's salt flavor and LG's bamboo salt refreshed my understanding of toothpaste.The latest new love is Mars toothpaste from Italy, which has colorful and unique flavors, including cinnamon mint, licorice mint, jasmine mint, dried ginger and other exotic flavors, which are advertised as well-made and delicate in taste.But the reputation is hard to live up to. The signature jasmine mint aroma is not touching, just like eating a green tea-flavored tissue.Sensodyne mint flavor is the most accepted all the time, freshness is everything! Foodies always pay attention to everything in the rice bowl. If you are so bothered about the taste of toothpaste, you have to volunteer to say: Come and watch this poor and fastidious foodie!
