There's these toothpaste tablets/pills, which you put into your mouth, bite on them and then they turn into toothpaste for brushing.
When I first saw those, I also thought, they'd somehow clean your teeth without brushing. Like, maybe they're one of those fizzy tablets, which I believe exist for cleaning fake dentures. Or when I then read that you bite on them, I thought, maybe they're like special chewing gum. But yeah, it's just toothpaste without the water.
Once I chewed a vitamin C tablet that looked like a TUMS. It was not like a TUMS. It was intended to dissolve in a glass of water.
It started fizzling and bubbling in my mouth, activated by the moisture that was there. I started intensely foaming at the mouth and almost threw up.
Good times, 10/10
On that note, I once accidentally brushed my teeth with Deep Heating ointment.
Would not recommend or try again.
It would never have occurred to me to try this, but now you've piqued my curiosity...
And then you got to stay at home because you seemed sick. Nice one Ferris Bueller.
Yeah, I was trying to find something that didn't need water for when I'm away from a sink. Saw those tablets and thought they'd be great! Luckily I read the description.
I guess I'll have to stick with the wisp things.
