Yeah, I erased the ant trail with antibacteria spray. They started looking lost.

It took a while but eventually I noticed that they were always after my toothbrush or the cap of the toothpaste tube.

Sure you're not using sugar paste (instead of the recommended cheese paste) to brush your teeth?

Pretty much any toothpaste has sugar in it. Ants like sugar.

Besides I'm using the racist toothpaste so I'm pretty certain it is actual toothpaste.

What, this one?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. That's the one.

It's actually pretty good.

You mean pretty good in terms of sweetness?

By the way, aren't there any other non-racist toothpaste available in China...?

(My sister's in-laws, who are Taiwanese, like that toothpaste brand so much that they always pack cases of them to bring back to the US)

I mean pretty good in terms of how much it foams up and cleans teeth.

Foaming does not necessarily result in cleaning

I think I'll stick with my slightly-less-racist Colgate Total, thanks.

They're owned by the same people you know.

To be fair black people's teeth usually does appear to be really, really white because it constrasts so much with their skin color. Probably where they got the idea for the brand name.

Yep. That's exactly why they picked the name. And it's not exactly saying anything uncomplimentary about black people. It's basically saying "This toothpaste will give you teeth as white as a black person's."

The Chinese name isn't really an insult so it's only the English one "Darkie" that is actually racist and even that name wasn't considered as bad in the 1920's when the brand got started.

Besides it is actually pretty damn good toothpaste.

So I should stop brushing my teeth with Alka-Seltzer?
