Toothpaste for the Future

I like to let the toothpaste build up inside the bristles of my toothbrush. I mean really deep...like halfway. Here's my thought process: when I go camping/hiking I like to pack smart/light. So I save space with neglecting to take my toothpaste. The brush comes, but not the tube. Throughout the non-camping time I build up my reserves of paste. Then when I'm out and about I have plenty of dried toothpaste ready at a moments notice without the bulky mess of lugging around a tube! See how great it is?! On top of that, if I'm ever lost during this time, I'll always have great breath...which is important when lost. Elisabeth can't quite see the importance of this; she has asked me to wash out my brush before. I explain this and she turns around and rolls her eyes. We work well together.

I used to love to eat toothpaste, too. My mom, a nurse, lost it when she found this out. I guess it's bad to digest a lot of fluoride...it's damn tasty though :) Sometimes when I'm hungry and don't want to eat, I just brush my teeth to subside the urge. My mind takes me back to the glory days of swallowing paste day and night.

Oh, that new paste, the BAM paste, the orange/cinnamon/mint paste...that tastes horrible!!!!!!!!! You can't even taste the delicious fluoride. :(

I've been running stats for six hours and I feel a little looney right now. They all contradict each other, so my research is pretty much a shame...at least my hypotheses is. I found this great graphing website hosted by the government for kids. New Hottness!
