Colgate 27 Grams Twin Pack Sachet

         

       I just bought Colgate Philippines’ newest product this noon. The product is called Colgate Twin Pack Sachet, I think this was launched 5 months ago at 27 grams. The sachet looks good to me I like its cherry red color with cool and simple logo design. I just do not know why they split the pack into two though both parts are equal in weight at 13.5 grams each. Before it was like one sachet about 20 grams, now it is just like it glued together in one. Maybe because people might see it like the old sachet doubled, so I think this is just another one big corporate gimmick as usual. 

        When I opened it, it just would not open easily because it does not have the little ready to open cut at the side unlike the old sachet or any other competing brands. And I hate products which are not user friendly, where you have to use a scissor or any sharp object to cut it open. Now when I put something in my brush there were pastes that were spilled because it does not have a nozzle like the old version, where you can easily control the flow of the paste. When I started brushing, it feels sandy and too minty unlike other brands especially Close Up of Unilever which is smooth in your tongue or teeth or gums and not too minty. Maybe there is too much fluoride in it and fluoride weakens teeth, believe me it does. It could even harm the liver when over used so maybe its one advantage is putting just a bit of it so it is a saver without putting out effectiveness since it is minty enough and has fluoride enough.

But over all I think it is not that bad it is 27 grams compared to the old one with just 20 grams at the same price. It is good especially in the country where I am from where quantity is more often being weighted more quality because of poverty. And I think that is the main reason why Colgate Philippines designed this one, for the mass consumers I guess. I still prefer the other brand, I do not hate them or whatsoever and I am not paid nor work for by Unilever. Given the reasons and everything I think this twin pack is 6 out of 10 for me, no more no less, sad but true. Peace!
