I'm out of toothpaste. Is it socially acceptable to use ground up Mentos as a tooth-care substitute?

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning?
Why not? my friend does it too. I'm not saying to do it everyday, but try mentos one day, toothpaste the other, trident the next day, etc.

Not really....go to the store and buy some more toothpaste

use ORBITS (gum) a brushed clean feeling

Eat a non-pulpy apple, then follow with a glass of water. Chew on a sprig of mint to freshen breath.
I'm not kidding.

I don't recommend Mentos because they have a high sugar content but try to get some trident or some dental gum that you can chew on. At my school, I dont have any time to brush after lunch so I chew on a stick of trident and that helps me until I get home.

If you do use ground Mentos, add a spot of baking soda to actually do some work while you enjoy the minty flavor.
It is probably better to just brush with the brush and rinse with water than to add the sugary Mentos.

sure. i mean, its better than using peanut butter or vaseline. its still minty fresh. why not?

Considering the amount of sugar in Mentos, I wouldn't suggest it. You might consider visiting your local grocery store to buy some more toothpaste. And if it's closed, use mouthwash.

Mentos are tasty, but I wouldn't encourage them if dental hygiene is your goal. They're too sugary and could rot your teeth. I understand, however, that with the rising costs of toothpaste these days, if can be hard to keep up. When I've got that not-so-fresh feeling, I like to smear some Velveeta on my toothbrush. There are several reasons for this, but the biggest one is just that I love cheese! I think if you try this, your teeth will be shiny and manageable just like mine.
