I bought this new tooth paste the other day. It's Crest Cinnamon something or other. It's supposed to whiten your teeth more than regular toothpaste and freshen your breath with cinnamony goodness. All well and good, except it's red. I know you associate cinnamon with the color red. So do I. However, after brushing, when you're in spit phase, it looks like you're hacking up blood. Now, every time I brush, I think my gums are bleeding. I have to remind myself that it's just the toothpaste. But then I think to myself, hey! What if my gums are bleeding? I'd never know it.

So, a word of advice to the folks at Crest: Either dump the red-colored toothpaste, or call it something like: "New Cinnamon Crest - now with gingivitis! If you've never experienced the joys of bleeding gums, Try new Crest with gingivitis! Whiter teeth, fresher breath, and bloodier gums!" I mean really - who thought red toothpaste was a good idea?

So that's my latest bathroom hygiene woes. Innocuous enough for you?

P.S. By a show of comments, how many of you think that I'm at least as talented and funny as James Lileks?

Okay, how many of you agree that I at least have more hair than he does?
