Why? Where was it before?

Oooh, if you think about all the nasty molecules that are floating around the air in our bathroom, it might truly be wise to do at least a rinse before the paste.

I think I'll go home and burn my toothbrush

I'm not sure if he's trying to emulate the picture on the Crest box or what, but let me tell you... we go through a heck of a lot of toothpaste in our house.

Hey, the directions say the pea-sized amount is for children 6 and under.

And just think of how much toothpaste we'd go through if the kids actually bothered to brush.....

Do they REALLY need instructions on shampoo bottles?!? And if so, those instructions are an infinite loop!

Thankfully the instructions have been revised to say "Repeat if desired."

You know what I don't like? Satin brand floss. It's too slippery. Doesn't feel like it's doing anything. Bleh.

the same amount as now, as they usually go through ALL the motions, but dont ACTUALLY brush. just make swishing noises under the faucet and call it good.

at least, thats what I would do as a kid
