Who ever goes into an Oceanarium and thinks, "Hmm, I need to buy some toothpaste"?
You're right -- no one. So why do companies think it's a good idea to put a toothpaste/dental care stand in the middle of an aquarium and expect to make a profit?

Going to visit the fishies -- both big and small -- we almost get through the tour when we come across a small corner kiosk of Hapiee toothpaste right next too the fish spa area. Not only is there just a booth, but there are two sales reps with prepackaged sets of toothpaste, a toothbrush, and floss all ready to go. These poor suckers are hanging out in front of the fish spa trying to hawk passerbyers on their way to get their feet cleansed.
I would hate that job. I do hate that job, and I don't even work there.
Just one of the silly things that don't make sense in the Philippines.
