Cola wars are passe !

There was once life that was simple, like Toothpaste.
But they came and did some jiggery-pokery stuff and it was simple no more.
I mean, who would have thought of injecting micro granules into toothpaste?
that too after having changed the good ol white paste into a red and blue gel, that can be mistakenly used for moussing hair?
N entwining green gel with blue, red around white?
adding salt/strawberry/mint/bubblegum to it? Saw one orange flavoured one too ...!
Phew...plain ol colgate white days were so simple!

It took me hours in the mall, carefully reading and re-reading the 'advantages' of each available brand, the grey cells never before under so much pressure to take split second decisions to reject all but one...the ONE that would be the best. Will this be better? But I tried it last time, somethin different now? Are active oxidants what I really need or does neem and clove clean better? Gel or Flouride? Milk calcium or Salt? Will whitening agents work wonders or do I go for a mix of Vitamins, Fluoride, Mouthwash and Micro whiteners ? Lemon mint or Perlite?
Closeup or Colgate or Pepsodent or Clident or Babool or Ajanta or Meswakh ?
HUL or CP or LG or P&G ?
Phew!!!! Toothpaste war
( Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) n my oral hygeine caught in between.

Well, at the mall yesterday, the helpful salesman saw my plight, took pity and thrust one shiny new ,narrow rectangular box into my hands...'yeh try karo maam, bilkul naya hai, sabse badiya hai'.

Gosh! relief!!!!!
but sheesh, I forgot which one it was !

Reason why departmental store is called so , I guess is coz we enter sane but depart 'mental'!!!

Oh dear oh dear !!!
