If you’ve ever had a tube of toothpaste explode in your suitcase, you know the meaning of mess. Remember those nasty moments as you consider these clever little Toothpaste Tablets. Incapable of bursting, Toothpaste Tablets mean you’ll never spend another minute scraping goo off your socks. Neither liquid nor paste, these compact, chewable, mint-flavoured tabs are dry, light, compact, convenient and only seem a little weird-ish the first time you use them. The big upside is this: not only can they glide through security without taking up precious space in that one-litre bag of liquids and gels but they’re also environmentally friendly. They come stored in a container made of - wait for it - recycled toothpaste tubes.
Available in containers of 60 tablets for $12.85 from Magellan’s at www.magellans.com or 800-962-4943.
