Toothpasty Supplement #5

Toothpasty Supplement #5 is an efficient, inexpensive, effective very addictive oral hygeine agent and tooth decay preventative. Developed several months before the writing of this review in response to increasing demands by The Computer, HPD&MC, and PLC for increased oral health and hygeine (See publications "Baseline_Dental_Health, v23.4.a", "Halitosis: The Next Treason", and "Updated Smile Evaluation v5.12, an IntSec guide").

Toothpasty Supplement #5, the most successful and popular dental hygeine supplement in the complex, played several notable roles in the Toothpaste Disaster. Due to it's highly addictive nature, and the very effective oral health education campaigns featuring TS#5, it's sudden shortage resulted directly in a massive increase in Citizen Customer Dissatisfaction, back-traced to results such as the Red Clearance Revolution and the Toothpaste Rebellion. TS#5 is also standard issue for a variety of Denta-Bots, which have been implicated in a bot uprising, in itself a noteable part of the Toothpaste Disaster. Finally, TS#5 is a profoundly and diversely chemically reactive substance. It has been demonstrated to react with a number of other common and semi-common substances in use in Alpha Complex:

• Combined with Super Conductive Solution Sigma, TS#5 becomes unstable, and emits a mildly hallucinogenic gas during decomposition

• Combined with Acidophizz and B1, TS#5 becomes a nearly unbreakable adhesive agent

• If exposed to Bile Supplement, aka B2, TS#5 becomes a slow acting but powerful mutagen

• Exposed to varieties of Fun Food products, TS#5 hardens and becomes a malliable gelatinous slurry often used in mid-clearance artwork.

• Exposed to Triboromethyloxine Foam, TS#5 produces a powerful biosolvent which congeals into a solid plascticene mass.

• Combined with Boullion flavoring, TS#5 renders ineffective a number of hormone suppresants provided to low clearance citizens.

Other chemically reactive uses for TS#5 are suspected.
