  That you put in your mouth and partially ingest.

  Reminds me of the Chinese milk scandal where people were literally poisoning babies by selling fake milk for a profit of a few cents apiece. This is why you can't just say it's just everyone's responsibility to be careful what they buy, no one has time to run chemical analysis on every single item they take home from the grocery store.

  That or they give you a dozen tubes that will expire next month, or have already expired. Luckily I only bought 3 expired tubes of toothpaste.

  You can make a tube of toothpaste for a few cents. With counterfeit branding you can sell it for a hundred times as much. It's drug dealer profitable at much lower risk.

  I've heard of multiple reports of bootleg soap/body wash sold by Amazon, I think it's pretty common.
