Dental Hygiene Enigma

At some point yesterday, UPS delivered a small box to our house. This is not an unusual occurrence around this time of year; however, when Michael opened the box (expecting to find goodies of some sort) he discovered 72 tubes of trial-sized toothpaste (all Crest). Strange, right?

Even more odd, the box was sent to "JMKD Productions," a title Michael once used as a signature on a home video of the boys' first year. Also listed was a phone number to our supposed office (Proctor & Gamble apparently think JMKD Productions is a dental office as the box also included the following message: "Thank you for recommending Crest to your patients"). I called the phone number and received an error-type of message.

Since I have no idea as to WHY this box arrived at our doorstep, I will contemplate WHAT to do with 72 tubes of trial-size toothpaste (oops, I mean 71--Michael wanted to use one of them last night, just for fun).

• Insert ornament holders into the bottoms and decorate the Christmas tree
• Discreetly place them on co-workers desks
• Attach them to the tops of holiday gifts
• Develop my own line of practical jewelry
• Be "that house" and pass them out on Halloween
• Empty all of the toothpaste into a plastic container and then just dip my toothbrush in whenever I need toothpaste
• Donate them to the local food bank?
• Generate an additional income by selling them at a cheaper price than the supermarkets
• Use 1 a day for 71 days until I develop OCD habits and need to seek therapy
• Take the delivery as a message from God that I am 4 MONTHS OVERDUE for my dental check-up and need to call immediately to make an appointment!
