<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWhoa, a toothpaste review! I know what questions are swirling in your head. “Is it bacon flavored? Did I accidentally visit theresponsiblebuy.com? What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s next, advice on my 401(k)?” No, no, and you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go wrong with index funds. Occasionally, TIB likes to offer reviews for products that can cleanse your bodies of all the sweets and fats we usually recommend. And since all of our Taco Bell posts already double as laxative reviews and I refuse to try out the Shake Weight until after a third date, I figured a toothpaste review best fits the bill.<\/p>\n
According to the Colgate website, the new MaxClean with SmartFoam can clean hard to reach places because it has 30 percent more penetrating foam than regular toothpaste. For the purposes of this review, I guess we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just assume that more foam actually is better for cleaning your teeth, even though a quick Google search provides unsatisfactory evidence. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll also assume that Colgate decided to use this specific combination of capitalization and spacing in the product title because it somehow makes the toothpaste better at cleaning your teeth, and NOT because they wanted to make me incredibly angry by randomly mangling basic rules of English. A quick Google search on this question also provides unsatisfactory evidence, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll let you decide which of these assumptions is a bigger stretch.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMaxClean with SmartFoam had a classically pleasant electric blue color, and the intensity of its mint flavor was pretty standard toothpaste fare. But within 20 seconds of brushing, I could notice a significant difference in foaminess. “30% extra foam” may have been a serious underestimation, as I had a really hard time not letting the foam dribble out of my mouth. After I was done brushing, my mouth felt much cleaner and tingly-er than it normally does. I suppose the toothpaste actually could have cleaned more hard to reach places than my regular toothpaste does; more likely, the overflow of foam just reached a greater surface area around my face and left my mouth feeling zestier more on the outside than within. Even if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the second explanation, I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big positive \u00e2\u20ac\u201c in addition to cleaning my teeth, I want my toothpaste to make me feel refreshed after I use it. <\/p>\n
On the negative side, the overflow of foam means I probably left dried toothpaste spots all around the sink and annoyed my roommate. Sorry about that, David. Oh, and thanks for buying toilet paper last week. If I wrote for theresponsiblebuy.com I would probably remember to buy basic household necessities at the supermarket instead of walking around the snack aisles asking the store associates if they know whether the next shipment of Twinkies will include the Strawberry Cr\u00c3\u00a8me ones. (They never know.)<\/p>\n
Anyway, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re like me and want your toothpaste to help you feel awake and refreshed in the morning, definitely buy the Colgate MaxClean SmartFoam. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re skeptical about the assumption that more foam is actually better for your teeth, find a good scientific answer and let us know. And if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d prefer for me to go back to reviewing greasy and ridiculous foods, come back in two weeks and I promise I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll revert to form. Who knows, maybe those Strawberry Cr\u00c3\u00a8me Twinkies will finally have arrived!<\/p>\n
