Random facts about tooth paste.  I just *accidentally* washed my hands with toothpaste.*  Autumn used to call tooth paste 'poop paste'.  Tooth paste is soap for your teeth.  People used to use urine as tooth paste.  I use baking soda as tooth paste sometimes.  

*I was washing my hands.  Then I noticed that I was squirting tooth paste into my hands.  Well, I just thought "if I rinse it off my hands right away, then my hands won't get clean.  I'll try this."  Now my hands smell like my mouth.

That's disgusting, but I've put soap on my toothbrush, so I think yours is better.  :)

Baking soda is disgusting?  It's salty.  One of my friends mom puts cinnamon flavor in baking soda to make toothpaste.

Yes, the reason I put those disgusting facts was because they were disgusting.  To brush my teeth, I'll stick with baking soda and toothpaste.

I've used baking soda as toothpaste before. It whitens the teeth, I'm told. :)

Yeah, I used straight baking soda as toothpaste for a while. The trick is to keep it away from your tongue Tongue out It does whiten teeth, and keeps your breath from smelling bad. But the dentist made me start using toothpaste with fluoride, so I started using Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste, which works about the same.
