The speaker reflects on their changing attitudes towards toothpaste and dental care. Initially, they found toothpaste inexpensive and used extra money for gaming. After losing a tooth and feeling that dental care was too costly, they switched to an electric toothbrush and believed that expensive toothpaste was better, especially since they could buy it at wholesale prices from a friend. During the pandemic, financial constraints led them to use cheaper toothpaste, realizing that gum issues were likely due to poor brushing rather than the toothpaste itself. They note the rising prices of toothpaste, comparing its cost to that of pork, and express that while both are industrial products, raising pigs seems riskier and more challenging.

At first, how could toothpaste be so cheap?
Adults give more money to play games.
Later, I accidentally pulled out a tooth, the upper right one.
I got an implant.
I thought it was too expensive.
I planned to brush my teeth properly.
I switched to an electric toothbrush.
At that time, I thought the more expensive toothpaste was better.
Coincidentally, I had a friend at a Yunnan Baiyao distributor.
So I basically bought it at wholesale prices.
I would buy about 20 tubes each time.
During the pandemic, I had no money.
Additionally, I thought the bleeding gums were due to not brushing properly or food getting stuck.
It was just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
It was a waste of money without any benefit.
So I started using whatever cheap toothpaste again.
Last year, I could buy 3-4 tubes for 10 yuan.
This year, it feels like I can't even get three tubes for 10 yuan.
Thinking carefully,
the price of some toothpaste is the same as a pound of pork,
or even the same as a pound of ribs.
Both are industrial products.
I still think raising pigs is a bit more difficult and risky.
