i finally have a toothpaste preference

colgate > crest.

and this is a monumental change in mindset
since i'd always considered the two interchangeable.

but there is such a fundamental difference,
a risk factor that i'm unwilling to take-
the twisty cap,
oh, how much grief you cause me.
i just don't have enough hands when i'm brushing my teeth to maneuver the twisty cap. so i end up not recapping it, because it is such a hassle, and then the toothpaste dries out and it's such a hard time squeezing it out and it's all clogged up and hardened and gross. grief, i tell you. grief.

and with crest, the chance of a twisty cap,
is just a risk i'm not willing to take.

the twisty cap and the flippy cap make all the difference.
