Oh, where you living then, we have toothpaste only checkouts but this morning every customer must have had real bad morning breath and the queue was quite bad with them carrying minty mouthwash. I did complain to the manager about the fact they werent buying toothpaste but all he said was that if they knew how bad peoples breaths were going to be this morning, he would have opened an express toothpaste checkout.
I dont know.... shopping is a nightmare these days for toothpaste lovers :scared:

Who needs toothpaste?

Rub a eucalyptus leaf around your pearly whites for that just brushed feeling.

(Oh god, I need to get out more)

Just checked the packaging and the bloody stuff is made in Australia.

I am taking it back tomorrow morning. I hope they have a queue for whingers ;)

I am sick of not being able to get stuff from other countries. I hate paying less for my goods.......
