ONE INCH OF TOOTHPASTE?!? What the royal fuck!

Yeah, they're supposed to be on the metric system over there!

The UK still officially uses miles, it's common for older people to think in imperial. I think you've been misled.

An inch of toothpaste seems like a lot of toothpaste to use.

Thats the recommended amount for Sensodyne

Of course Big Toothpaste is going to want people to use more!

A pea sized drop is all I need to get a good teeth clean. I could make a tube last almost a year but my partner likes to use an ungodly amount of paste

Maybe fancy Sensodyne in the UK with Novamin, but that ingredient is missing from Sensodyne in the US.

It's really not though

An inch of toothpaste is indeed a lot. Dentists recommend using as little as a pea sized portion.

Of course he can waste tons of toothpaste, being the king.

u/EL3G Aug 06 '25

I stand corrected. I never realized that, I just knew about the 3-3-3 rule. But I use an electric toothbrush the head on it is close to pea size so I guess I've been doing this all along, lol.

u/Weak_Fee9865 Aug 06 '25

Yeah! There is no going wrong with electric brushes

It is for the person paying for the toothpaste!

You need to start clipping coupons, toothpaste is always free for me

Tiz very complex. We basically do both.

Some examples.

Recipes can be in either.

We fill up our cars in litres of fuel, but work out fuel efficiency in gallons (and use mph for vehicle speed). Unless we are running, then use kph.

We buy pints of beers, but metric ml units of spirits.

Milk is sold in multiples of pints or litres in the same shops.

Fortunately, most people in the UK or US use metric in science and most places it really counts, so it’s just waiting for the oldies to die off before the full conversion. Mostly as the French invented metric.

The power of 10 is vastly better/easier than some farm-hands barleycorn measurement of feet from a thousand+ years ago, lets be honest.

That's definitely one possibility!
