One of the cheapest brands of
toothpaste, and also rather unpopular. This may be because it makes no claims to
whiten your
teeth,
protect you from
tartar, or spice up your
sex life -- it simply goes on your
toothbrush and foams a bit, and smells rather
minty while doing so.
Dentists do not usually recommend Pepsodent to their patients. The
brand (especially in its
baking soda enchanced incarnation) is harsher than most other toothpastes, and can be irritating to the soft
tissues in the
mouth.
On a personal note, this was the toothpaste of my
childhood. My father always bought it because it was
cheap. He used to sing a little
jingle about the stuff that went,
Brush your teeth with Pepsodent,
You'll wonder where the yellow went --
But when it turns them gray and black
You'll wish you had the yellow back.
The original
flavor tastes a bit like
root beer, which may be why I completely refuse to drink root beer to this day.
Pepsodent comes in original and baking soda formulas, and can be found at most grocery and drug stores, as well as www.drugstore.com.
