I was at my aunt's house recently and forgot to bring toothpaste, which was no big deal, because they had some. They told me to look in the drawer of the bathroom in my room. I saw it and put it on the counter for when I was going to brush my teeth. The next time I went to brush my teeth, something did not seem right. The toothpaste was flat and not doing its toothpaste thing, and it kinda burned. Uh oh! I quickly looked at the tube of what I thought was Colgate, and read Cortizone! Yep! I was brushing my teeth with Cortizone. Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! I could not spit it out fast or hard enough. Bleh! I rinsed and I rinsed and it still felt and tasted like it was still there.
How could I have made this mistake? I thought back to when I picked out the toothpaste and it had been under something, but I had seen the red and white tube and the "Co" and assumed the rest was "lgate". I took a photo of the two tubes together and they are alarmingly similar in packaging and it actually was a very easy mistake to make in this perfect storm of events.
