Sunday I spent the entire day unpacking the kitchen. The kitchen is, well, funky, so I ended up leaving most items packed and stored in the basement. We still have quite a few boxes to unpack, but at least this house is bigger, so we can just cram boxes into a spare room and forget about them for a bit.
Anyway, you can probably imagine that I have had no time to knit or crochet or sew or do much of anything. I don’t even remember the last time I picked up knitting needles! Isn’t that terrible? I have, however, managed to shop a bit and discovered some quirky little items to share with you.
Exhibit A:
I’ve never seen such a thing before, I may have to go shopping. Verrry interesting 🙂
oooo. i just tried a sample of the crest vanilla bean mint. not as funky as green tea or darjeeling. but pretty good! very vanilla!
Curry toothpaste? Wow.
I don’t think I could do the curry either. I have been tempted to try flavored toothpaste, but as of yet have been too chicken! You’ll have to let us know if they are any good. 🙂
Haha, your people. I have never seen that stuff here–is it high class or do you think I could find it at my local drug store?
What magazine did I see those in before? Crest Lemon Ice is VERY good, so is orange and cinnamon too.
remember, our people came up with godzilla & mothra too. so clever… so innovative… sooo sooo….
How bizarre! I can’t imagine my teeth would feel clean without a minty toothpaste, and imagine what your breath would smell like after you’d used the curry flavour!?!
Yes, I remember that! When I went to Japan in June, we were laughing at all the different flavors of toothpaste they had. My friend thought it’s be a kick to get her coworkers some chili flavored toothpaste. I got strawberry for my grandson. Hey in the 60’s in Hawaii they used to have strawberry flavored toothpaste, I remember that when I was young. Don’t know what happened to that.
I love how they look like little tubes of paint! Does the “29” on the grapefruit flavor mean there are really that many different flavors?
Have you tried it out yet? Does it leave your teeth feeling clean? I would love pumpkin pudding or grapefruit or green tea flavored! I might have to make a trek to the Nordstrom here…
Eeeew. I like mine minty fresh, thanks, and use the toothpaste to get RID of the curry taste in my mouth 🙂 It is quite the concept, though ….
My husband already thinks I’m crazy with the vanilla mint flavored toothpaste. I can’t imagine what he’d think if I brought home green tea or pumpkin pudding. I do think I might like the grapefruit.
Wow, personally, I would enjoy a flavor other than the typical over-minty freshness of most toothpaste. And of course, anything green tea would probably be a big hit here!
I thought that it’s lip gloss!
Hmm…I’m not at all surprised that Japanese came up with that, LOVE their stuff.
Anyway, do they have chocolate?
wait did you say curry toothpaste?! to funny, the green tea sounds good though.
We must be sharing brainwaves. I found this on Friday in a store in Vancouver, BC (where I live). I was so intrigued I bought a tube — vanilla. I haven’t really tasted much of a difference, have you?
Toohpaste? That is great – too funny! I’m such a dork that when you asked what we thought they were, I looked at the picture, saw the word “darjeeling” and thought it was tea paste. Hmm… sounds a little bit like tooth paste doesn’t it?
Tee hee! Only in Japan would such toothpastes be invented!
Haha, I can’t imagine one’s breath would smell too fresh after using pumpkin pudding toothpaste!
My former roommate is in Japan for the month, so I must implore her to buy some flavoured toothpaste for me.
Wacky, dude. My first guess was facial cream for age 17, 23 and 29. How can pumpkin or curry whiten your teeth???
If you’re looking for strawberry toothpaste, Tom’s of Maine makes Strawberry toothpaste that’s quite yummy. They also make a mango orange toothpaste that’s pretty tasty.
I’m curious to hear how the grapefruit tastes – I’m usually not a fan of citrus after brushing myself, so I wonder how they’ll manage that taste combo.
Oh, and welcome back to Oregon!

In my experience the Japanese were right up there with the British for having gnarly teeth. (I lived in a small rice-farm village those two years though so maybe in the cities it’s better.) I guess if it takes pumpkin pudding toothpaste to get those kids brushing they’ll invent it!
my question is: how much does toothpaste cost at Nordstroms!?!
The Pumpkin Pudding flavour is actually really mild. Are the rest like that? I feel like I’ll have to eat half the tube to taste anything 🙁
