Just curious; out here in the East, Colgate's toothpaste commercial is
riddled with references to `WMFP'. So, is there a corresponding `KMFP'
commercial out west or what?

(Texas) Anyone in California have anything to add? Hmm interesting. WMFP--the Colgate Pump! blares one commercial. If MFP stands for Maximum Fluoride Protection, then what does the W stand for?

It didn't run for long out here as I believe everyone was wondering what (and where) a station with a W call letter would be. Who knows. (God, I think I'm watching too much afternoon TV!)

So, is there a corresponding `KMFP' > commercial out west or what? No, there is no 'KMFP' commercial out here, which bothers me. If Colgate feels it is sufficient to make the commericial for the eastern US (but not the western US), it is enough to discourage me from buying Colgate. PS - I buy Crest anyway, but it doesn't really matter what toothpaste I use, as long as it has a lot of fluoride and doesn't taste icky. -- Gordon A.

Yeah, and what about CMFP for those of us north of the border?

I think the commercial sucks, no matter what part of the country it's broadcast in....and get that Godzilla character outa here, will ya?! He's moving to Level 7!! :-) ing**
