The purpose of my blog is to tell you about all my likes and dislikes from the outrages to the mundane. Well here we are at the mundane I guess.....toothpaste. Everybody uses it (I hope!) and we have all found ourselves in front of the toothpaste isle at the drugstore staring at all the different types of brands trying to choose which new one to buy or to just stick with our old standard. Well I found myself somewhat giddy when I saw the new Sensodyne foaming toothpaste. I know I am easily excited but I threw it in my cart and off I went with thoughts of tingly foaming action later that night when I brushed my teeth. My first impression of it was pretty good. It foamed a bit and tasted fine and initially I liked the new funky looking container. the next day I went to use it and there was a little bit of the toothpaste that seems to leak out of the spout from the night before. I threw the clump in the garbage and and didn't pay much attention to it. Well 30 days have past and that damn clump is driving me crazy!!!! Yes you heard me CRAZY! ( I'm also easily driven crazy too) let me say that it is like having some toothpaste fairy come every night and take the top off your toothpaste and squeeze some out. I have put the cap on thinking that would fix it... NOT. I have run the top of the toothpaste container under hot water to make sure there is not any toothpaste left in the spout to see if that would fix it...NOT... Ok maybe I am being a little dramatic here and for those people who don't mind to brush their teeth with a wad of hard dried up chuck up toothpaste attached to their toothbrush then this is certainly the right toothpaste for you but for me this is just annoying. So I am not saying I don't like Sensodyne because I do, just not this new foaming one in the poorly designed space age bottle they were trying to go for. But also, as a fun side note, and nothing to do with my personal angst against the new Sensodyne bottle but my father was the inventor of the flip top that goes on shampoo bottles, ketchup bottles and anything that has that hinged flip top. Cool Huh? Now don't get all excited thinking I am living on some yatch near my personal private island next to Oprah and Richard Branson counting my roalities from every bottle with a flip top out there...I'm not.
( even though in my fantasy world I am. That and being super slim and able to eat anything I want) actually my dad had it pattened and then sold the patten a few years later before I was even born. So i don't live on a yacht or my own private island and have never met Oprah or Richard Branson........And it was funny but my Dad told me that most companies thought it was a ridiculous idea can you believe that? I wonder what they told the Velcro man...you'll have to ask him if you are ever driving by on your yacht next to his private island located right near the man' private island who invented the pet rock.
So for my Ask Aimee review of Sensodyne Foaming Toothpaste I give this a solid " its enough to drive me crazy" 1 Star!
