Guy Has World’s Largest Toothpaste Collection — Including Whiskey and Wasabi Flavors

A Georgia dentist earned a Guinness World Records title for his collection of 2,037 different toothpaste tubes, with unusual flavors including wasabi and whiskey.

Dr. Val Kolpakov said his collection includes rare toothpastes from countries including Japan, Korea, China, India and Russia.

Some of the most unusual tubes displayed at his dental practice’s “mini museum” include a trio of whiskey-flavored tubes in rye, scotch and bourbon varieties. He said the novelty toothpastes contain 3% alcohol.

Other unusual entries in his collection include a tube of Doramad toothpaste containing the radioactive compound thorium and a tube of Brenner’s toothpaste made specifically as a prop for the TV series “Prison Break”.
