Possible Cure for Messy Toothpaste Disease
By D. Perse Is a messy toothpaste tube driving you crazy? Let me tell you - youre not the only one. Im quite sure that toothpaste has been a popular reason for fights between spouses or family members since its appearance in our daily routine which (at least for some people) happened a long time ago Toothpaste History 3000 to 5000 years B.C. the Egyptians were already making a dental powder/crme out of powdered ashes of oxen hooves, myrrh, burned egg shells, pumice and water. This powder or paste was probably applied onto the teeth by fingers since the toothstick (predecessor ot the toothbrush) had not been invented yet. Persians chose different ingredients in about 1000 B.C. Burnt shells of snails and oysters with gypsum were their magic formula. Romans improved the recipes by adding (among others) some flavoring agents, which also counteracted bad breath. Half a millennia later, around 500 B.C., we find records of toothpaste use in China and India as well. Modern toothpastes appear in 1800 A.D., developed by doctors, dentists and chemists in Britain. They contained some very abrasive substances (brick dust, crushed china, earthenware, cuttlefish) and even sugar. The poor still rubbed their teeth using fingers and for the rich toothbrushes were available. Mass production started in 1873 (by Colgate). Toothpaste was packed in a jar and for the first time in history it smelled good. U.S. Army included the brushing of teeth in their standard hygiene procedures in 1941. Toothpaste Today Nowadays, toothpastes come in a variety of colors, flavors, aromas, with fluoride or without it, with synthetic or natural ingredients, packed in plastic or tin tubes, dispensers etc. Theres one thing that hasnt changed, however. Some people simply dont mind spreading the toothpaste not only onto the toothbrush but all over the dispenser, the sink and probably other places also. Uppermost, they probably forget to put the cap back on the tube after use These sorts of (bad) habits can become a serious problem when such person shares the same bathroom with another kind of person who prefers toothpaste in a tube (always with the cap on when not in use) and on the toothbrush only. Until today, I havent heard of any cure that would heal the “messy toothpaste disease”. But Ive had a chance to learn about an interesting and at the same time amusing method a young lady just started using in her bathroom. Well call it “Doro-Method”. It involves putting up conspicuous post-it stickers with instructions around the area in question. By “conspicuous” I mean the size, the color and the wording you really cant miss or disregard easily. And shes told me so herself - its been working so far Theres no guarantee that the “Doro-Method” will work for you. In that particular house nobody ever comments on warnings or directions but they are being followed by every member of the household without exception. http://www.greetingcardservice.citymaker.com/page/page/3846992.htm D.
