Ever since the Commie Cough hit, I’ve noticed a lot of quality control issues in common products. Today I broke open a box with a new tube of toothpaste (purchased some months ago; expiration date is sometime in 2023) to find that something ain’t quite right with the tube.
I’m uncertain if the tube was *ever* actually sealed. The toothpaste itself has dried to a largely solid state. I’ve never actually wondered about what happens to toothpaste if allowed to dry out, but I’ve had that nugget of knowledge kinda thrust upon me. Woo.
