Toothpaste in collapsible tubes was introduced way back in the 1850's. Fluoride, however wasn't added to toothpaste until 1914, but was met with disapproval from the ADA (American Dental Association). It wasn't until the mid 1950's that Crest introduced it first clinically proved fluoride toothpaste. Currently, in the United States, we buy over 14 million gallons of toothpaste yearly.
All of this talk about toothpaste makes me want to go brush my teeth! :-)
Hopefully you found this information interesting, and if you have any interesting facts you have been dying to share, please do so. I am always looking to increase my knowledge of totally useless information!
