toothpaste

I had to buy toothpaste today - not a massive task, one would think...

but there's a lot of choice, now...and I'm sure I've read bad things about half the manufacturers about their evil ways and stuff...and then, when I've narrowed down the choice a bit...there's my one MASSIVE problem with the entire toothpaste-buying thing.

Which brands have red stripes?

Yes, it's irrational, it's ridiculous, but I cannot cope with red stripes in toothpaste. Absolutely no feckin' way. And you just can't TELL now, which ones have it and which don't. What happened to the picture of the toothpaste on the box? Why do we now have stupid graphic instead of the old cartoon piccy of a bit of paste on a brush?

Anyway, in the end I chose one that came in a pump dispenser that I could SEE didn't harbour red inside.

Am I the only person on this world who has such ridiculous fears?
