Since Zoe brought this up....
Raise your hand if you have ever read the back of a non-edible product, seen the "if accidentally ingested..." line, and thought to yourself - how is this accidentally injected?!? Don't be shy - my hand is up. Well my friends, I am about to solve that little mystery for you. Picture it...hotel room, USA, 2008. I have just taken my contacts out only to realize that I forgot to pack my glasses for this trip. This is bad since I am basically blind without my contacts/glasses. I take a small tube of something I think is my travel-sized toothpaste out of my suitcase and squirt it on my toothbrush. It looks a little funny, but you can't be too brand specific when buying travel-sized toothpaste and often mine comes free from the dentist, so I think nothing of it. It tastes horrible - not minty at all. I figure it could be that nasty baking powder toothpaste. Also, the room was musty smelling and the water had been turned off before I got there (leading to brown water when I first used it). So maybe it's just the water which tastes funny - best not to complain. After about a minute though, I begin to wonder just what I put on my toothbrush. I pick up the tube, turn it around front side up, and hold it about 1 cm from eyes to read it. It says "Clearasil." I begin to spit and wash my mouth out, giggling the entire time. My friend, brushing her teeth next to me, shows great concern when she realizes what I did by saying "At least your mouth won't break out!"

Every cloud has a silver lining.
And this lining is pimple free. God I love that story.
Thank goodness you didn't use the Clearasil to clean your contacts....I'm thinking zit free eyes might burn.
Hehhehe!
