Hmm, that kid appears to have about 1/4 tsp. of grape jelly resting in a little ball on his lower lip, what's that about.

I have a tube of Kolynos toothpaste in my bathroom right now. I bought it in Buenos Aires last fall, distributed by Colgate-Palmolive. It promises the dual freshening action of toothpaste + mouthwash! What I find strangest about it is that the tube is yellow and green. I have never seen a toothpast package using either of those colors in the US. The toothpaste itself is a deep bluish-green gel with pasty white stripes.

wow!!! was it 2 for .69? doubtful....i know....

you're right...i've never seen much of ANYTHING yellow and green packaged in the US....i wonder why? marketing genius' must of discovered that americans don't like yellow and green?

It was not 2 for .69, but the lettering on the tube was exactly the same.

Color preferences are really different in different parts of the world, and I understand that South Americans respond better to warmer, brighter colors than Americans do. For me, yellow and green would be good on a food package, maybe cereal, giving a feel of nature and the countryside and wholesomeness. But they don't in any way convey clean and fresh to me.
