They’ve invented a toothpaste with glitter in it. Toothpaste. With GLITTER.
All well and good. Of course I’ll be racing off to the supermarket to by glittery paste to slather on my pearly whites.
Except – they probably force feed it to rabbits to find out how much glitter kills 50% of a test group.
It’s called an LD50 test. Sounds innocuous, but it stands for “Lethal Dose – 50%”.
Which is horrible, and pointless, and very, very common. If the package doesn’t say “no animal testing”, it’s safe to assume there is some nasty things being done to furry people in the name of product research.
So, do I go for the glitter, and let the furbags fend for themselves ? I know, you’re probably thinking that I wouldn’t dream of compromising my principles for toothpaste – but I’m not quite that deep.
Toothpaste…. With glitter. It fair does my head in.
