I've tried the baking soda trick too, and yeah, it definitely helps with stains. But I found it a bit gritty for everyday use, even just once or twice...

Totally agree with you on the berry seeds—I tried a raspberry smoothie once after my biopsy, and those tiny seeds were surprisingly irritating. Banana...

Haha, yeah mine's pretty noisy too—sounds more like a tiny blender than a lawn mower though. Still, can't complain much since it does the job and hasn...

I've noticed the toothpaste thing too. A couple years back, I switched to one of those "natural" toothpastes thinking it'd be better (and cheaper), bu...
