Talk:The Truth About Dentists/@comment-6794436-20150214011719

Damn... that ending actually surprised me, even despite the inplausability...

Good: This pasta was written quite well, with barely any grammar errors. Also, the premise behind this whole pasta is quite thought provoking and intriguing. The whole idea of people doing stuff like this, and creating a market for themselves is both perplexing, and horrifying. Dentists, to most people, aren't the most fun, and this just makes things worse. The thing that really makes this pasta work, is the realism, albeit that is also it's major flaw. There are definitely a large amount of people so egotistical, evil, and greedy that they would do such a heinous act like trying to make their patients fall ill, only to have them come back and pay double the price. Also, that ending came out of nowhere and I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe toothpaste really doesn't help, and in fact just gives off the illusion that it is by whitening teeth. Or, maybe not, but even still, it is a fun topic to think about.

Bad: The main problem with this pasta is it's inplausability. I really don't think that dentists could infuse toothpaste with a living parasite, and even still, I'm sure that they'd be exposed at some point. The premise of this story itself is just nearly impossible, and it would be incredibly absurd if it were actually true. Also, when I said that the realism was a good thing, I only meant that in the aspect of the human mind and the fact that many people in this world would consider doing things like what was mentioned in this pasta, that is, as long as there was a good payout. Oh yes, and this isn't neccessarily creepy, it's just more thought provoking than anything.

Verdict: 7.5/10- The plot and premise were great, as was the ending that came out of nowhere. The only real flaws were the lack of creepiness and the fact that this story isn't really very plausible. Even still, this was a short, but also great read.
