Ants & Toothpaste

When I went to New York recently, I visited a friend of mine's house out on Long Island, and in the bathroom there was a trail of ants going up to and back from the tube of toothpaste, which had been left open. I wondered why ants would want toothpaste, but hey, I guess they deserve white teeth and fresh breath just like everybody else. (Maybe they're being brainwashed by all the TV commercials they're exposed to? Or do they even have brains to wash? Hey, maybe that's a new growth market: ant toothpaste and brain wash!)
