    This is not as daft as it seems. my grandfather ended up living in an ex WW1 tent on the beach at south shields around 1920 with his 12 year old brother and 8 year old sister for years with nothing but an old flea ridden rug to rap them selves in to keep of the frost. If they couldn't get salt to clean their teeth they'd use soot. he still had most of his teath when he pegged it in his late 80's !!

    Oh I don't deny that it works as advertised. The reviewer even admitted their mouth felt clean afterwards. I'm just saying I would have to be in a very dire situation before I would even consider using something like this.

    I really think that DesignNotes review is a bit over the top, sounds like it's the kind of person who probably wouldn't try 'weird' Korean food in the first place, so I think I'll wait until someone else has a go, or if I see it in a shop here.

    If it was really that bad, I don't think the person would have finished!

    Just needs orange stripes, and there's your halloween hot seller!

    I'd try it. But as a vegetarian, I'd first like to know what kind of charcoal they use. With my luck, it's probably bone char made from slaughterhouse by-products. Would make sense, because it may give better cleaning properties when compared with plant coal, due to its porosity and calcium content.

    I bet if the reviewer had just finished a good serving of authentic Korean kimchee, he might appreciate the toothpaste more. What a weeny! Besides, he can't even spell "queasy" correctly.

    Actually I made homemade toothpaste out off charcoal for my investigatory project the toothpaste was not successful because of the taste but it is almost perfect because it smells like a commercial toothpaste and based on my research charcoal can be a toothpaste.
