Oh My Darlie

 
 
 
























These toothpastes have long been known to, and made fun of by the Asian expat community the world over, or visitors to Asia. But for my sheltered friends, I bring you these pictures I snapped in Taiwan. Darlie Toothpaste. In Chinese, the brand translates to 'Black Man Toothpaste' (Hence the White Man ripoff below). In less PC times, the picture of the black man was more offensive, and Darlie was called Darkie. But we've moved on since then. And now, Darlie doesn't just come in the plain yellow tube it was offered in for decades, but all kinds of snazzy packaging and flavours, like herbal, special whitening, peroxide, and whatever the blue and gray box says.
