Today, whilst we were out dog walking we came across a tube of Fixodent on the path in the middle of a field.
We have wracked our brains trying to explain this strange find. Any suggestions?

Hole in someones pocket?

Had it been used?

A good suggestion there, Sir O, but who keeps a tube of Fixodent in their pocket when they go out for a walk?

Tilly2

Question Author

Yes, it looked empty, jomifl. We didn't pick it up, though. Never know where it's been.

jomifl

Person thought they had grabbed a tube of KY jelly on the way out and threw it away when he/she realised their mistake.

Himself took the kids for a walk and found human finger bones.

SirOracle

A vain person who is hopeful of meeting the perfect mate on his/her perambulations.

Sherr, you need to tell us more. That's very intriguing.

Dogs do have dentures you know - so it's a wild dog taking his or her fixing agent home......

They were looking for fossils when they found it. The police came round and took some details (and the bones). Never heard any more as we moved out of the area shortly after.

Oh, sherr. That's a bit of an anti-climax!

Good suggestion, DTC. :-)

sherrardk

We kind of forgot about it with the whole moving/leaving jobs/starting a new life thing. Would love to know how they happened to be there (and of there were any other bits).

So would I? Did your family know what they were when they found them? Did they bring them home?

Tilly... a Farmer with badly fitting false teeth perhaps ?

tonyav

Maybe someone was using it as a container for something else, sweets maybe.

Tilly2

Question Author

Could be, mikey. Although most of the farmers I know don't seem to give a thought to how they look. In fact, most of them don't have teeth.

Question Author

Yont, how do you get sweets into a tube of Fixodent? They would have to be very small sweets.

tonyav

How do they chew on a straw then, Yilly ?.

tonyav

Well what sort of size is a fixodent tube, ie is it smartie size tube ?.
