This is uncanny; I had just eaten some donuts so my mouth was full of refined sugar. I intended to brush my teeth but I forgot about that, and I decided to check NHNB. This was the only new activity, the Colgate thread, even going so far as to demand me to brush my teeth; To do what I had needed to all along! Thank you Colegate. Have some pics.

>>8574 >>8577 She's a good pony for sure. I wonder what her favorite flavor of toothpaste is? And on that topic, what's toothpaste like in Equestria? I'd like to imagine the ingredients involved being more natural over there, but on the more unique side of things, couldn't there also be magical ingredients incorporated for various benefits?

>>8574 Minuette is a cute.

>>8578 Probably natural ingredients like charcoal or calcite

>>8577 This is inspirational

>>8586 That give me an idea: What if some brave anon took up the challenge to create and use authentic Equestrian toothpaste?

>>8588 >It's like Luna's Mare Juice™ >But toothpaste Sounds like a fun endeavor, though it's hard to imagine what direction to take it. How would one make a toothpaste "Equestrian" with the resources we have available? No magical glowing crystal powder or extracts of special plants from the Everfree, unfortunately.

>>8589 >How would one make a toothpaste "Equestrian" with the resources we have available? If you can figure that out, I will use it and produce a gripping report.

>>8588 Challenge accepted

>Doesn't feel like brushing >Thinks of Minuette >Inspired to brush Mares are lil angels

>>8589 We don't really know what they use for toothpaste in Equestria. For all we know they could use the same ingredients or wholly different ingredients. Either way it's more about the branding and standing out from the existing toothpaste brands we have.

>>8578 Maybe Equestrian toothpaste would taste like sassafras?

>>12975 What other flavors would seem fresh to ponies?

>>12982 They do like mint candies

>>12982 Daisies, Honeysuckle, Anise, Licorice, Pine, and Dandelions, maybe? How often do ponies need to brush? I would think less often then humans since equine teeth continue to grow I think.

>>12992 Horse teeth don't continue to grow, horses just have very long teeth that slowly slide out of the gum over time. They are made to wear away because horses have to grind grass all day. When horses get old the teeth can completely wear away and then they can only eat mush (it makes snuzzles yucky). The reason humans have to brush is because we eat so much sugar and other processed carbohydrates which turn into sugar. Bacteria converts sugar into acid which dissolves teeth (not unlike the process where yeast make alcohol or rise bread). If we didn't eat processed food and lived shorter lives like our ancestors brushing would basically be unnecessary like it is for horses.

>>12995 Fascinating! I had always thought their teeth grow perpetually. Thanks for the correction biofag. Cheers!

>>12992 >How often do ponies need to brush? I would think less often then humans since equine teeth continue to grow I think. Would probably have to do with their diet. Sugarcube Corner is a thing so probably about as often as people do. Even if not strictly for health, I'd imagine it'd still be recommended to maintain fresh breath.

>>13011 >I had always thought their teeth grow perpetually Rodent teeth do >>13015 Yeah, that makes sense given the world they live in. Even stuff like bread is unnatural levels of carbohydrates for them. How many instances do we see them brushing in the show anyways?

>>12995 I want to brush skelemare's teeth

How shiny are Minuette's teeth?

I will brush my teeth tonight in order to make Minuette proud of me!

Why does she stare?

>>17917 Ponies are naturally curious. She's trying to figure out if (you) would be a good friend.
