Nihilist Toothpaste: No Flavor, No Color, Nothing–Just Paste

Posted on by

Nihilist Toothpaste

Toothpaste is available in all sorts of flavors, colors, and varieties these days. Heck, they’re not just limited to paste, either, because liquid and gel toothpastes exist now. However, if you’re not a fan of blue, green, or tri-colored toothpastes that sometimes comes with flecks of “cooling crystals” or whitening strips, then you might want to check out Accoutrements’ Nihilist toothpaste.

It’s toothpaste the way toothpaste should be. It’s got no flavor, no color, no thing–just plain old white paste in minimalist packaging.

In a way, the Nihilist toothpaste stays true to its name. McPhee describes it as:

At its most extreme, Nihilists don’t believe in anything. So, when we decided to make toothpaste for nihilists, we decided that it shouldn’t taste like anything because they don’t believe in flavor. Brushing your teeth with Nihilist Toothpaste is really brushing them with a big dollop of reality.

Nihilist toothpaste comes in 2.5 oz tubes and is priced at $5.

Neonisin is Toothpaste You Can Swallow

Posted on by

Toothpaste doesn’t sound like the most palatable thing in the world, but some people have taken it upon themselves to come up with the right formulation to make it edible. It’s called Neonisin and it’s going to be available in Japan this summer.

Neonisin

The active ingredient in the edible toothpaste is Nisin, which is a peptide that’s harvested from lactic bacteria. This is often found in soy bean curd. Natural flavoring, plum extract, mint oil, and corn-based thickeners are then added into the mix to create the toothpaste. In some ways, I guess you could say that Neonisin is basically just a tofu toothpaste – or Tofupaste for short.

When released, Neonisin toothpaste will be cost about $8.90(USD) for a 2.5 ounce tube.

A Tongue-Mounted Toothbrush

Posted on by

Tongue 2 Teeth (or T2T) is an invention by Adel Elseri and Said Fayad. It’s a tongue-mounted toothbrush that’s coated with toothpaste, has a bumpy texture, and slips over your tongue. Adel says he came up with the concept while driving home from a 12 hour shift. That’s impressive! The only thing I’ve ever come up with after driving home from a 12 hour shift is something along the lines of “Someone should invent cars that automatically drive you home. Yawwwn! Man, I’m so sleepy. Just gonna rest my eyes here for a minute. Zzzzzz–CRASH!” So yeah, not quite the invention I’ve been dreaming of (literally!), but still cool. You just keep on working toward revolutionizing the world of oral hygeine, guys!
