Do black people have whiter teeth?


Once upon a time in Hong Kong, there was a brand of toothpaste called, "Darkie". To top it all off, their logo featured a picture of a minstrel. I guess they realized in the 90's that it was a bad idea to keep the name "Darkie", so they changed it to "Darlie".

The brand name in Chinese still translates to, "Black Man Toothpaste".

Infinite loops. That's how things start knowing that they're things.

Except actually it isn't.
