How is this a wonderful thing? Or even partly wonderful.
Also, if one buys a product named after a writer of tall tales, well, you get what you pay for.
Fun fact - read the packages of your tooth pastes. There are like 2 kinds of tooth pastes out there, and 2 more if you want something to help with sensitivity. That’s it. It’s all the same stuff! Just pick a flavor you like and don’t stress out about it. (Note: I am sure there might be a few more, but look at the active ingredients. That whole aisle of tooth paste is basically the same stuff with different flavors and colors.)
Also, unless you have some sort of medical thing where you can’t use it (if that is even a real thing) if your toothpaste doesn’t have fluoride in it, you are doing it wrong.

I think Aesop is a great name for this product, because it is a cautionary tale about what happens when you spend a lot of money on a toothpaste without fluoride.

Looking at that picture it seems that:
a) the toothpaste is packaged in an old timey metal tube, because it seems more “authentic” and “artisinal”; and
b) the people who made the decision to use that packaging don’t know that with that kind of tube you need to squeeze from the back end, not the middle
