This year, the VelvetBagel.com staff has had to make certain adjustments after moving out of the dorms and into an apartment. We've found that we have to buy our own food, toilet paper, brandy, etc. However, as the semester winds down and we approach Thanksgiving, there is one thing that we are perfectly able, but not willing, to buy.
Toothpaste. Our tube is nearly empty, nearly squeezed dry, but we think that with proper rationing, we'll be able to make it to the Thanksgiving holiday without having to buy a new tube. By that point, we will be able to simply take a tube of Aquafresh from our parents' house and return to the apartment.
Our roommate Tom has offered to let us use his toothpaste until we get some more, but we steadfastly refuse to accept his charity. Here now, is our effort to amke a small amount of toothpaste last just over a week.
The VelvetBagel.com Thanksgiving Toothpaste Challenge
Day 1 |
 |
 |
We are doing well.
We believe that rationing will allow us to last through the eight days.
|
||
Day 2 |
 |
 |
Toothpaste still
doing okay. Counter needs a good scrubbing, though.
|
||
Day 3 |
 |
 |
Might have to
switch to Orbit if I want to maintain the "just-brushed clean feeling".
Katie says this all might be more appropriate for Hanukkah rather than
Thanksgiving. She's good.
|
||
Day 4 |
 |
 |
Check out that
swagger. That confidence. Still good.
|
||
Day 5 |
 |
 |
Body and teeth
both clean. Applied extra force to tube. Vice grip.
|
||
Day 8 |
 |
 |
Seemingly more
desperate. Might not have brushed teeth in intervening time. Katie staying
farther away. Going back to Cleveland in two days.

Forgot to update section.
Mom got me new tube of toothpaste. Note excitement. Crest not Aquafresh.
"Scope With Whitening". Will need both.
