I can't tell if I'm way older or way younger or way poorer than OP.

I went to an elementary school with 15 kids in the whole school. We were all on well water so every other week we went to the kitchen and swished fluoride for a minute.

But I have no idea WTF these pink things are. Y'all had toofsbrushes?

    They're tablets used to highlight plaque / areas missed by brushing. Common tens of years ago in the PNW anyway, haven't really seen them in 10-15+ years though.

    Weird. Maybe a state-based thing? Never hard of them in the SW.

    You would have seen these only at the dentist. We had them in Oklahoma when I was a kid. (55 here.)
