Toothpaste

Did you know that toothpaste has an expiration date? I did not. We ran out of toothpaste. I found a tube in the linen closet to hold us over till I got to Coscto. But, it expired 2 years ago. When did toothpaste start expiring?

So did you use it- or not?

Honestly, I will serve/drink expired anything if it smells and looks okay and is within a reasonable time of the exp. date. Drives my husband crazy but I do it anyway.....

hmmm, yes? Because I hadn't noticed that toothpast even has an expiration date (it's on the end where it crimps up). I did notice it tasted odd though.

Never thought about toothpaste expiring before lol

What do you think the ramifications of expired toothpaste might be?

Wanking - ya know, I never did either. I guess it makes sense somehow?

Stimey - that is an excellent question to which I know no answer! I guess it just doesn't clean as well maybe?
