The Nihilist Toothpaste is a Big Tube of Nothing (But Paste)
Meghan Young — August 16, 2013 — Lifestyle
The Nihilist Toothpaste is made for those who believe that there is no more meaning in life than there is use for a decorative bicycle or whatnot. Like the Nihilist Mints that were created a number of years ago, the Nihilist Toothpaste is flavorless, odorless and colorless. All it boasts is a plain paste that gets the job done. No need for thrills and frills here.
Available online at Archie McPhee, the Nihilist Toothpaste was created by Accoutrements. As described on the Archie McPhee website, "At its most extreme, Nihilists don’t believe in anything.[...] Brushing your teeth with Nihilist Toothpaste is really brushing them with a big dollop of reality." But who really wants that?
