Brill Cream: A Little Dab'll Do Ya

We boys experimented with hair care
products back in the late ‘60s. Being
boys and living in a boy’s world, we
knew the difference between hair care
products like Brill Cream and yucky
stuff like toothpaste.

Both Brill Cream and toothpaste came
in identical plastic squeeze tubes.
Only the packaging was different. It
never dawned on us that someone
else might not know the difference.

Grandma came to visit one time,
staying in the guest bedroom and
using our bathroom. My brothers and
I, being boys and having boys'
priorities, were out of toothpaste, not
Brill Cream.

We didn’t think twice about it until in
the morning. Grandma came to the
breakfast table with an odd look on her
face.

“That new toothpaste sure does taste
funny,” she said.
