toothpaste

last week I noticed I was almost out of toothpaste so while at the store I picked up some more. It felt a little weird. I went down the aisle at HEB and there were a ton of different kids and none looked familiar. Well, I recognised the brands but the boxes were all different and the flavors and all. So I stood there thinking about it and realized I go through a tube of toothpaste about every 3-4 years. No wonder it felt so weird. Tonight I totally ran out of my old tube and opened the brand new shiny tube of Crest with scope in some minty flavor. It has quite a kick. So, I noticed the new tube has an expiration date of about 2 1/2 years from now. Just for fun I looked at the expiration date on my old toothpaste. Yep, it expired 6 months ago. Oppsy. I guess it doesn't REALLY matter. Being single does have a few downsides like that - expired toothpaste, expired salad dressing, expired milk sometimes, way expired spices. But it does have its upsides like I don't have to buy toilet paper very often. :0)~
