Things that make me smile #31 – For healthy teeth, squeeze the tube from the bottom

A friend sent a note recently with a single liner

Raj,

Here’s a secret. For healthy teeth, squeeze the tube from the bottom.

Best,
Mark (name changed)

It seemed like a puzzle. So I called him and asked him if this was some sort of a puzzle. He laughed and told me that he was inspired by Crest Toothpaste. Out of curiosity, I picked up a tube of Crest toothpaste and here is what I found:

Crest Toothpaste

If the image is not clear, here is what the tube said

Whitening plus Scope

Fights cavities
Fights tartar
Freshens breath
Whitens teeth by gently removing stains

FOR BEST RESULTS, SQUEEZE THE TUBE FROM THE BOTTOM AND FLATTEN AS YOU GO UP

Now, we all know what they were trying to mean but it still made me laugh.
