    My dentist once told me that, "tooth paste is like shark repellent. It doesn't really do anything, but it makes you feel better." Best dentist I ever had.

    Fun fact; Listerine started out as floor cleaner. Then it was an antiseptic. And then mouthwash. The recipe has not changed in the better part of a century.

    Old man was a dentist. Filled me in that it was the brushing, not the goo that is really important. The goo just makes it more pleasant. Also, yes, he got those phone calls. "Would you recommend...?" and it is all in the way they word it. "Would you recommend to patients that they brush with over not brushing at all?" Well, yeah. "There you have it folks! 9/10 dentists recommend brushing with brand x!" Makes you wonder about the 1.

    Here is another fact: the reality is the amount “needed” is the size of a pea, but ads always show the amount resembling a 🐛 .
  • I brush my teeth with sulfuric acid. My teeth are so clean they're invisible!
  • It’s amazing how the simple use of the word “goo” can change your idea drastically instead of “paste”

    As a Great Depression child my mother used baking soda to clean her teeth. She had perfect teeth.

    When he said “Hortons antiseptic burn water” I literally sprayed the drink out of my mouth.

    I guess Cracked missed the memo: Happy Birthday is public domain as of last year.

    You forgot to mention the part where only a "pea sized" portion of toothpaste is required to effectively deliver the required fluoride (not all municipalities have it in drinking water) when every toothpaste commercial ever shows at least 4x that much on the brush. The size of a toothpaste tube opening is actually federally regulated because of the ridiculously huge amounts of toothpaste that the companies tried to get people to believe was normal.
  • I love how in all of these videos he never actually calls the product by its actual name

    But be honest, you don't want your breath to smell like trash?
