Reminder that Unilever (British) is a horrible company like nestle (well I guess they don't have a documented campaign to kill babies or human traffick into chocolate plantation slavery like nestle) and should be avoided when possible.

Normally I would recommend Happy Tabs (a dutch company that makes very good toothpaste tablets with fluoride), but they had a major supply chain change and have shit the bed the entire 2025, stopped responding to bad reviews and support requests, deliveries not going out even though people paid, and even their store page went down

Wow that website is a UX nightmare lol.

A bit more expensive, but if it helps shipments actually be delivered then that is a plus ๐Ÿ˜‚ I guess I will go with them. Thanks for pointing me to them!

I don't understand what happened to Happy Tabs, they were going strong, good marketing, and had collaborations with KLM airlines and Dille en Kamille and now they have just disappeared off of the face of the earth with no notice.

My bet's on a CEO getting a big fuckoff bonus and then sinking the company for ROI. Aka, corruption.

Bonuses I view as corruption.
