I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?

idk, I could be wrong.

I'm in a meeting. Can someone caption this for me?

Classism is literally ingrained into our society (and we all know this disproportionately effects BIPOC people)

i have the exact same issue with mint flavoring in toothpaste, and the kids stuff is absolutely rancid.

anyway, my sister gets Tom's brand toothpaste and it has very, very minor mint flavoring. almost none at all. i live in pennsylvania and my family can usually just find it in the local walmart, but i'm not sure how common or easy to find it is all over. it's definitely one of the best alternatives to mint toothpaste i've ever tried.

it's not super pleasant or sweet, but it's not painful and that's what matters to me. it's also vegan, for anyone who maybe cares about that sort of thing.

Yeah but no legitimately toothpaste being only mint flavoured is horrible. Let me help you with an example.

My father can't stand the taste of mint. He tells me it shouldn't be a flavour & humans shouldn't be consuming it. He used to buy Colgate cinnamon flavoured toothpaste bc he couldn't stand mint. Then Colgate changed the recipe to "cinnamint" & he had to stop using Colgate. Dad then tried using kid's toothpaste (bc they can be watermelon or bubblegum etc flavoured) but he couldn't stand them bc they were too sweet & fake. (I am a pastry chef, I love desserts, I have adhd so I'm more easily addicted to sugar, & yet) even I can't stand kid's toothpaste. The only brand that sells toothpaste any other flavour is "close up" & it's cinnamon. Both cinnamon & mint are painfully sharp on your tongue, kid's toothpaste makes you feel like throwing up, so what do you do? Sometimes you can find gourmet toothpaste, like Anise & Orange, but I've only ever seen the anise in person, & my parents told me about the orange.

Personally I struggle to brush my teeth for however long I'm supposed to bc the mint burns my tongue & mouth & it's painful.

Toothpaste needs to be more accessible. Teeth are very important: cavities & tooth decay can lead to periodontal disease, which can lead to heart attacks. (In short. It's more complicated than that.) Privitized dental care is a health risk for poor ppl, homeless ppl, ppl w/o jobs & insurance & benefits, & disabled & mentally ill ppl.

If I can't brush my teeth bc the cinnamon burns my tongue, the mint burns my tongue or I don't like it, &the kid's toothpaste makes me throw up, & I can find or afford gourmet toothpaste, what do I have left? Bad teeth, that's what.

Open up dental care! Let ppl who can't stand certain toothpastes have more options! Let homeless ppl & ppl w/o benefits/insurance get dental care! Help disabled ppl take care of their teeth! I haven't even touched very much on anything more than flavours!

More toothpaste flavours! Less harsh toothpaste flavours! We need to make a change.

what i want to do:

• get dream/tommyinnit levels of internet famous

• gain a toxic, yet dedicated, fanbase

• purposefully make a minor, inconsequential mistake

• have everyone get pissed at me over previously-mentioned mistake

• falsely apologize from the bottom of my heart and say,

"i'll never make a mistake of this magnitude again. i won't allow myself. so, to ensure that future, i will be permanently leaving the internet."

• watch the fallout with glee
