Blocks of color printed on toothpaste tubes indicate whether the toothpaste is made of safe ingredients
FULL CLAIM: "You ever hear the toothpaste theory? You know how the toothpaste at the bottom [...] there’s always like a block of color [...] The elites or the people that know the code stay away from certain colors of the toothpaste"; "If you have the green on your toothpaste, it means it’s all natural; if you have the blue, it says(sic) it’s natural plus medicine; if it has red, it’s natural with chemical; if it has black, it’s all chemical [...] If you were part of some, like, secret organization, across the world when you go to buy products, how are you supposed to know which one’s safe for you?" [...] In the clip, TikTok celebrity and podcast host Carlos Juico claimed that color blocks at the end of toothpaste tubes indicated whether the toothpaste ingredients were natural or "chemical". More specifically, he asserted that a green color block meant the toothpaste was all-natural; a blue color block meant the toothpaste was "natural plus medicine"; and a black color block meant the toothpaste was "all chemical". [...] In summary, the conspiracy theory that toothpaste tubes carry a secret color code indicating the safety of toothpaste ingredients is baseless. If people wish to know which ingredients are present in their toothpaste, they can simply read the ingredient list printed on toothpaste packaging.
