on teeth and men…

written by Jana June 1, 2006


What is it with men and their fancy-pantsy toothbrushes?

John likes to select his toothbrushes by the number of accessories they possess. Soft-grip handle? Tooth-whitening bristles? Gum massager? Dayglo handle with weird stripes down the side? The more the better for him. Same with toothpaste–he’s got to try the latest-greatest flavor w/mouthwash enhancers, polishing power-clumps, and denture-prevention creme.

Me, I pretty much don’t mind what sort of brush I use as long as the bristles are intact (none of those freebie-brushes-with-poorly-anchored-bristles for me). I also don’t like paste with colors. Tom’s of Maine is a personal favorite.

Yes Tom’s of Maine peppermint varieties are the type for me. I’ve even been to Tom’s in Sanford, ME, just up I95 from our house.

I have vaguely unsettling news though. They have merged with Colgate Palmoloive. Here’s what Tom and Kate say: http://www.tomsofmaine.com/about/Colgate.asp

Gray:
Thanks for hte heads up about the merger. I hadn’t heard. It sounds like C-P will maintain many of Tom’s business practices. But it is still scary. And I will miss the homebiz feel that I’ve always had with Tom’s products.

But I can’t be too down on C-P because they also manufacture the very high-quality catfood that our little ones enjoy so much (they will only eat Science Diet–our funny cats don’t even like fish much at all. so weird).

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
