If the yanks had said that African smelled or that blacks had smelled, I'm sure that theta would have been considered racist.

In answer to dan, the toothpaste in the tin could have been "Dentifrice"...?

My father was a pharmacist and often brought me home from the shop a brand of children's toothpaste called "Punch and Judy" - banana flavoured!

(as an aside my father also used to have a customer come in every Friday night for a tube of Contraceptive cream, which he referred to as "grinding paste")
