I use baking soda and peroxide toothpaste. As far as I am aware, the baking soda and peroxide are meant to combine in your mouth and produce... oh some product (no rude comments about pharmacists not knowing any chemistry please) which magically cleans your teeth, cleaner than they've ever been before. BUT at the beginning of each tube you get a whole lot of just blue paste. Blue is peroxide I think. Does this mean that my teeth get a substandard clean until I get to the bit of the tube with both colours? I think peroxide is still good for cleaning stuff... people often come and get a bottle of it (3%) after they've been to the dentist. Surely it couldn't taste very good though. But then neither does baking soda.
Oh yes, speaking of baking soda, someone from one of the cafes across the road came into work the other day wanting bicarb soda. I had a tub of pharmaceutical grade stuff which cost about $12 but suggested that they go to the supermarket as it would be a lot cheaper. "Oh no, they'd try to sell us baking soda - we don't want to use that to cook with!". Uh huh.
