10 ordinary things that are insanely expensive

There are some common products that we use every day, but they are quite expensive than their usual price. These are affordable, not-so-ordinary things that we use every day without thinking about them. From toothpaste to toilet seats, here's what we have in mind. They are a fancy version of everyday foods. Some companies make these fancy limited edition or one-off products that cost a pretty penny.

Most, if not all, of these expensive, ordinary items can only be purchased by rich people who have the luxury of having luxury ordinary items 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 crazy expensive everyday items that will shock you when you see the price tag.

10. Toothpaste

Let's start with perhaps the healthiest product on this list so 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 its Theodent 300 toothpaste for about $99.99. You ask why so expensive? Well, Thodent claims and shows data that their toothpaste is better at remineralizing enamel and strengthening teeth than many leading toothpaste brands. They can do this without using fluoride, which is incredible because 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 cocoa from plants in their toothpaste. They extract a good portion of the cocoa called theobromine, which is then mixed with calcium and phosphate. Unlike fluoride, it is not harmful to our body, so there are no problems if swallowed.

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

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