Osaka was snacking on crackers with a creamy white spread. "Those look tasty," Chiyo said.

"Want one?" Osaka handed a cracker to her friend. "I made 'em myself."

Chiyo bit into the cracker. "Wow, it's really minty. It's as strong as toothpaste."

"It is toothpaste," Osaka said.

Chiyo sweat-dropped. "Why would you— well, okay, why would anyone use toothpaste as a spread?"

"It's convenient," Osaka said.

"Huh?" said Chiyo.

"If you eat toothpaste for a snack," Osaka said proudly, "you don't have to brush your teeth when you're done eating."

Chiyo held her poor head. "Brain all hurty," she whimpered.
