toothpaste
母親が買って来た塩入り歯磨き粉をウへー!と思いながら初めて使ったのは、もう15年くらい前になるのかな。当時は「白とブルーのストライプ、ア・ラ・ふ・し・ぎ〜」というCMソングのシマシマ歯磨き粉の方がカワイイと思う年頃、塩が入ってるなんて妙なモノとしか思いませんでした。が、そんな私も今は完全な塩派。ココの「あまじお」ハミガキも是非、試してみたい(と思いながらも1年くらい経過)。旦那が昔使っていたというGABAのアロナールをハンズで見かけたので買いました。値段を見ないでレジへ持って行ったもんだから、お会計で驚いたけど。この青いパッケージのアロナールは朝用。夜用にはオレンジ色のエレメックスというものがあるらしいけど、ハンズでは扱ってなかったです。味はフツー。クラッシックな歯磨き粉。写真中央は、なんとなく買った歯磨き粉。口の中イッパイになる小さな泡が吐き気を催すので私は使えません。旦那はそんな大袈裟な!と信じてくれないんだけどホント。
It was about 15 years ago, when I used a salty toothpaste for the first time. It was just weird and a blue and white stripy toothpaste was much cooler to me as a teenager. And now, I LOVE a salty toothpaste. I've been wanting to try Margaret Josefin' sweety salt flavour for a year. My husband came across his old time toothpaste aronal by GABA at Tokyu Hands. It was very shocking price though! This blue package is for morning and the orange one called elmex is for night brushing. This is a classic toothpaste. Not so special for me! The toothpaste in the middle of a photo makes lots of tiny bubbles in mouth. It makes me feel like throwing up. My husband doesn't believe me though.

ロンドンではアーム&ハンマー社のベーキングソーダ(重曹)入り歯磨き粉のミントフレーバーを愛用してました。が、そのフレーバーは廃盤に。無くなったから思うのかもしれないけど、アレこそが塩入り歯磨き粉のベスト!ちなみにアーム&ハンマー社の重曹、1986年に自由の女神の内側の銅部分に付いていた99年分の汚れを傷を付けずに落とすのに大活躍だったらしいです。
I used to use ARM & HAMMER' Baking Soda Toothpaste with mint flavour in London. I loved it but it was discontinued. I think it was the best of those salty toothpaste. I feel this way because I can't try it anymore? By the way, the Statue of Liberty's inner copper walls were cleaned with ARM & HAMMER' baking soda In 1986. It removed 99 years of coal tar without damaging the copper.

It would be funny if they'd cleaned the statue of liberty with toothpaste! Which reminds me of the book I'm currently reading: In it, each year is sponsored by a company, they call it 'subsidized time'. On every New Year's Eve a huge model of the new year's product is placed in the raised hand of the Statue of Liberty. The sponsors also get to name the year, so instead of 1986, it might have been called "Year of Arm & Hammer". In the book, there's "Year of the Whopper", "Year of the Trial Size Dove Bar", "Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment" etc. You get the idea..

I once used a mouthwash that made loads of bubbles in my mouth, I couldn't breath, my Mum did the Heimlich manoeuvre on me and saved my life! So be careful with your dental hygeine products! I'd like to see the statue of liberty holding a kentucky chicken leg, or one of those old ZOOM lollies, ha ha!

Nigel: i have always tought that the heimlich manouvre is for unwanted obsticles in the windpipe ? Not so much to do with foam in mouth.
