10 ordinary things that are insanely expensive

There are some common products that we use every day, but they are quite expensive than their regular price. These are affordable, not very ordinary things that we use every day without thinking about them. From toothpaste to toilet seat, that's what we have in mind. They are a whimsical version of everyday products. Some companies make these fancy limited edition or one-off products that break the bank.

Most, if not all, of these expensive, ordinary things can only be bought by rich people who can afford the luxury of having luxurious ordinary things for everyday use.

Now you might be thinking, “Why are they so expensive? " What are they? "Is it worth the cost?" So, here are 10 insanely expensive ordinary things that will shock you when you see the price tag.

10. Toothpaste

Let's start with perhaps the most useful product on this list, so that you don't lose all your marbles because of how ridiculous the prices of some of these products may seem to you.

This Theodent toothpaste company sells their Theodent 300 toothpaste for about $99.99. Why is it so expensive, you ask? Well, Thodent claims and shows data that their toothpaste is better at remineralizing enamel and strengthening teeth than many of the leading toothpaste manufacturers. They can do this without using fluoride, which is incredible as you may know that fluoride is good and works very well for strengthening teeth, but it is also known to have some health risks.

Their data also showed that it worked better than fluoride. How do they do it? Well, they use plant cocoa in their toothpaste. They extract a good portion of cocoa called "theobromine" which is then mixed with calcium and phosphate. Unlike fluoride, it is not harmful to our body, so there is no problem when swallowed.

They also sell chocolate flavored toothpaste for kids and adults who are kids at heart, which is not as expensive as Theodent 300.

Despite the cost, this can be a good investment for those with very sensitive teeth, concerned parents looking for a fluoride alternative toothpaste for their children, and chocolate lovers.
