SM's Got It 'Almost' All For Us

What makes an excellent toothpaste? There are a number of brands in the market that offer a lot (minsan kahit parang imposible naman). Our toothpaste supply have always come from the US (sushal?). Please don't take that as yabang or what not. Remember this post? Toothpaste is one of the usual relief goods that Mommy Martha sends us. We usually get Aim, Aquafresh, Crest or Pepsodent.

Just this afternoon, our last tube already flattened to emptiness so I had to go out and do a quick grocery shopping after settling some bills. I mostly shop at SM Supermarket. I love it that the aisles are wide, the place is clean plus I also love getting points for my SM Advantage Card. I thought the brand did not matter to me but I was wrong. There were the brands mentioned above on the shelves plus a lot more other options but there was one brand that I still tried to search...Colgate. I thought I already checked all the shelves so I gave up. I skipped the toothpaste and went to the counter to pay for the other things in my basket. I decided that I just bought Colgate from another grocery store along the way to the jeepney terminal. So I did.


Perfect!

Just a few minutes ago, out of curiosity, I googled "no Colgate in SM Supermarket" and found this and this.

Those answered my question. Two of my favorite brands, Colgate and Palmolive, cannot be found in SM Supermarket. SM's tag line should really be changed then. We've got it almost all for you! With the emphasis on almost

Ciao! ♥
