MODERATORS
I think they were just replying facetiously to ‘This stuff was delicious.’
If you eat a tube of fluoride toothpaste you will almost certainly get sick. There’s a reason the packaging tells you not to swallow it.
A big part of the sickness is the surfactant and abrasives. The amount of fluoride in a standard tube will likely not require medical treatment for an adult, particularly because they'll throw most of it up from the bubbles and grit.
Kid toothpaste has less or no fluoride and is often a smooth gel because the goal is to encourage brushing habits, so any amount of possible discomfort is less good.
