Toothpaste

I just bought toothpaste -- there was a version of Crest on sale, and I'm a little confused by it.  It's called Crest Pro-Health Night.  I don't know what could possibly make a toothpaste specially formulated for the nighttime, as opposed to the daytime.  And, in fact, the side of the box says, "Effective day or night, Crest Pro-Health Night is formulated with a unique nighttime flavor."  It's a relief that it's effective day or night, since I wouldn't want to have to buy two different toothpastes depending on the time of day I'm brushing.  But what exactly is the flavor of nighttime?  As far as I can tell, it's mint.  And in fact the name of the flavor, on the box, is "Clean Night Mint."  Again, I don't really know what the flavor of nighttime is.  Why does this product exist?  I understand why there's Tylenol Cold day and night -- one makes you sleepy, one does not.  But will this toothpaste make me sleepy?  I hope it won't.  I don't really understand the marketing reasons behind this product.  And maybe no one did, and that's why it was on sale.

Coming soon: Charmin Morning.  For those morning kinds of, well, you know.

Maybe soon they'll come out with flavors for random times of the day:

"Crest Pro Health 3:45 PM"

"Crest Pro Health Late Afternoon/Early Evening"

Maybe that toothpaste's flavor can give a person the "nighttime mood." Haha! Otherwise, it might also give a person the taste that he or she craves at night. Anyway, producers are really thinking of many ways to create innovative products in order to increase the satisfaction of their consumers, nowadays. People should be thankful for that. :)
