From a marketing perspective, this is brilliant. Moving from the extremely offensive name to one much more benign, and from a racist caricature to a spokes-character who is actually classy and sophisticated, all while maintaining a recognizable brand identity. Very well done.
this is real stuff!
Oh I hope so.
Paying 7 dollars for toothpaste is the real tragedy here.
In Taiwan? Sounds about right to me.
What I’m more concerned about is the fluroide “protection.” LEAVE PEOPLE’S PINEAL GLANDS ALONE
I grew up using those toothpaste.
I don’t think those were suppose to be the price.
I didn’t know Michael Jackson did a toothpaste.
Yeah this is an actual toothpaste in Taiwan. Its called Hei Ren Ya Gao, which literally translates to Black man toothpaste.
lol @... dark humour
I’m so glad someone noticed. Most times it just slides right past my disappointment.
I like the evolution from insulting black caricature to classy black man.

Please tell me its watermelon flavoured.

Hey my dog has chicken flavoured tooth paste.
He also has a little basketball and he’s awesome with it.
He likes to steal stuff.
He’s loud.
He’ll fuck anything with a heart beat.
He’s pretty smart but you wouldn’t want him doing surgery on you.
He sleeps all the time.
He’s demanding.
He cries when he wants attention.
He has a thing for big white dogs.
He doesn’t smell bad but different. Like an identifiable smell.
Well thanks MCS. I just realized my dog is a nigger.
I totally used this stuff in Taiwan.
if only the whitening ingredient relaly could turn niggers into whites, then the world would be better
So, it’s literally only the skin color that bothers you? If only they reflected more light while they went about their business. Bastards!
It’s the main toothpaste here in China. Usually 7 yuan, though, not seven bucks. Kind of tastes chalky.
At least it’s not called ‘heigui’ toothpaste.
