Damn you Parodontax!!!

Today I had a dangerous encounter with my toothpaste. By my toothpaste i mean the cruel joke the Parodontax company has played on the rest of the world.


Pretty much as soon as I drop my stuff of in my room today I go across the street to the grocery type store and buy me some german toothpaste, mostly because i can;t really tell whats what seeing as I speak almost zero german, but i'm pretty confident it is in fact, toothpaste. But when I go to brush my teeth that confidence goes out the window.

I squeeze the tube and out comes this gross flesh colored pasted that smells horrible. Immediately i jump to the worst possible conclusion. I have put some nasty medicated ointment on my toothbrush. I feverishly try to read the tube to figure out if its actually for my mouth, but again, i don't speak german. But i do see a website and its google translator to the rescue! I read some syntactically nightmarish discription of the product and caught something about gums and teeth and figured i was good to go. WRONG!

What i didn't catch was that the toothpaste tasted horrible. I start brushing my teeth and for some reason the toothpaste makes me start drooling uncontrollably over the sink (attractive, i know) and I spit out the remaining toothpaste as soon as I can overcome the taste enough to think straight.

Fortunately, I packed some Colgate for tomorrow.
