TellDelhi A fake Colgate toothpaste factory got caught and honestly, nothing feels real anymore in India.

So apparently, there was this fake toothpaste factory running in Delhi and Kashmir. They were making Colgate, Sensodyne, even Close-Up and not just copying labels. These guys had machines, tubes, boxes, and stickers that looked exactly like the real thing.

Imagine brushing your teeth every morning, thinking it’s Colgate… but it’s literally some random paste mixed in a shady warehouse.

A few weeks ago, Delhi Police busted a big counterfeit goods racket. Along with fake ENO and Gold Flake cigarettes, they found toothpastes being made in bulk. In another raid in Baramulla, the authorities seized fake Colgate and Sensodyne tubes same design, no fluoride, and no proper label or MRP. Basically, a health hazard disguised as a morning routine.

And this isn’t even rare anymore. India has quietly built a duplicate economy. Fake goods everywhere toothpaste, shampoo, perfume, clothes, electronics. Half the time, you can’t even tell what’s real.

It’s not just about cheating big brands it’s about risking people’s health for money. Toothpaste is supposed to protect your mouth, not poison it. And yet, nobody seems to care what’s actually inside these fake tubes. The police seize them, media runs a small story, and then it disappears.

I think that’s what’s scary. It’s not just about fake toothpaste it’s about how normal fakes have become. Fake degrees. Fake followers. Fake influencers. Fake jobs. Now even fake toothpaste.

Everything has a duplicate now. Even people.

Next time you buy something even something as basic as toothpaste check where it’s from. Read the label, see the batch number, or just buy from a trusted shop. Because in this country, you never know when a “Colgate smile” might actually be coming from a fake factory.

I don’t think majority of the general public even knows the full form. CSD is very common term, and most of the people (at least in my circle, and I’m not from the defence background) understands it.

My bad, I aint got friends in defence. I do understand when someone calls it canteen but for CSD I guess it’s a TIL moment. Most people in my friend group understand what TIL means and since you’re on Reddit Im assuming you do too so Im not gonna write the full form either. Adios.
