I like to eat toothpaste.
When I was a kid I always swallowed what was in my mouth (dirty!) after brushing my teeth. Once I was old enough to read I discovered that the ingestion of toothpaste was hazardous to my health. After the kind folks at Proctor and Gamble informed me that I had been poisoning myself on a nightly basis I spent many nights anxiously clutching my stuffed snake Periwinkle, convinced I was going to die of excessive fluoridation. What a way to go. "Sure she had nice teeth, but the fool was eating toothpaste. Good riddance!"
I no longer swallow the post-brushing toothpaste because I am a grownup. But sometimes I'll squirt some on my finger and "chew" on it for a while. Old habits die hard, I guess.
I don't know why I decided to share that, but you are welcome.
