CREST, CREST AND MORE CREST

(sigh)

Ok. This is mind-numbing trivial, but it's another one of life's burrs-on-my-backside. I know, I know. You're wondering if I do, in fact, have a life since I've been ranting for the past week about seatbelts, pantyhose and now toothpaste. Well, I can assure you that I DO have a life and it is constantly beseiged by these burrs.

Tonight I was searching for a tube of Crest toothpaste. This is no small feat any longer. Crest has saturated the market with so many different kinds of stuff for your teeth that it blows my mind. All I wanted was a simple tube of REGULAR freakin' toothpaste and here's what I saw: Crest Cavity Protection; Crest Gels in Cool Mint, Smooth Mint, Fresh Mint and Clean Mint flavors; Crest Rejuvenating Effects Liquid Gel; Crest Spiderman Liquid Gel; Crest Value Pack Whitening Toothpaste with Tartar Protection in a variety of flavors; Crest Multi-Care Whitening Toothpaste in a variety of flavors; Crest Neat Squeeze Children's Toothpaste; Crest Plus Scope; Crest Sensitivity with Extra Whitening; Crest Whitening Fluoride Anticavity Toothpaste Plus Scope; and last but certainly not least -- Crest Whitening with Baking Soda and Peroxide.

Spiderman Liquid Gel it is.

(sigh, dammit.)
