This video explores which foods cause cavities and reveals four secret ingredients for effective toothpaste: zinc citrate (targets bad breath bacteria), xylitol (tricks cavity-causing bacteria into starving), nanohydroxyapatite (the same mineral teeth are made of, helping remineralize and strengthen teeth), and watermelon mint flavoring (makes brushing enjoyable). The video demonstrates that sticky, sugary foods like cookies, gummy worms, and pineapple house treats cause cavities because they stick to teeth and feed bacteria, while proper brushing with these ingredients helps prevent dental problems.

Which SpongeBob Food Causes Cavities!?
Added:Today I'm going on an adventure across Bikini Bottom to find out which snack causes cavities. It's my goal to make the best tasting toothpaste on the planet. To do that, we need to find four secret ingredients down here in Bikini Bottom.
>> Have a cookie, SpongeBob.
>> Let's give a cookie a try.
Grandma's cookies.
>> Now, who wants to lick the spoon?
>> Ooh, I want to lick the spoon. Woah, he's really going after it.
Mhm, this cookie dough is great, but it's so crunchy I can taste the sugar crystals. The sugar bugs in my mouth are probably having a party. Oh goodness, yikes, I got to get brushing. This cookie dough is loaded with sugar, let's get rid of it.
>> I feel as good as new. I love the doctor.
>> Me too, because I am one.
Lollipop? I hope it's sugar-free with xylitol. Can I get a lollipop?
Ooh, SpongeBob swirl pops.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Taste like fruit punch, but it's dying my tongue blue. Ah, >> [screaming] >> this lollipop is filled with food dyes and I definitely don't want any food dyes in my toothpaste. No secret ingredient here, and my mouth is having a cavity party, so we got to keep moving. Thanks for the cookies, Nana.
We're here at the Chum Bucket.
I think Plankton's cooking up a meal right now.
It's steaks.
>> Holographic meatloaf.
>> Ho- ho- holographic meatloaf? How many calories is that? It looks hollow. Hey Karen, I'll take some. Woah.
Let's give it a try.
Wait.
Why is this actually flavorful?
This is perfect for my diet because it's literally zero calories. Next up, we got the iconic classic Chum Burger.
Oh, that looks wicked.
Ooh, does So smelly.
>> I don't want to eat it.
Oh, it's so gross.
>> I see why Plankton's always trying to steal the secret Krabby Patty formula.
Wait, he's got a secret ingredient. Get over here.
>> Woah, we got it. Let's see, what's inside?
>> Shh.
>> Don't tell Mr. Krabs.
>> What the heck? That glob is the secret formula?
Woah, we unlocked another ingredient.
We've unlocked zinc citrate.
>> Add zinc citrate to our toothpaste because it'll tackle the bad breath causing bacteria. Let's head to a restaurant that actually has some good food. I'm sick of these nasty Chum Burgers.
>> Who's that little guy?
>> I'll take care of him.
Woohoo, clam chowder.
Ooh, clam soup. Do I feel bad? Not really.
It tastes like a soup straight from the ocean.
>> Wait.
>> That kind of sounds >> Sounds gross.
>> Is that Squidward's house over there?
>> Let's go check it out.
>> That salty soup made me thirsty.
>> Wait. Hook your best friend up.
>> I'll give you a fat glob secret formula toothpaste once it releases.
>> Woah, thanks, Squiddy.
Woah.
Oh, yeah.
Woohoo, now that's one extra soda fizzy soda.
>> Soda fizzy soda.
>> It's so fizzy, I don't even know what to say. Woah, it's so bubbly, it tastes like a transition stream. I could really use a pie right now.
>> Oh, you mean this pie?
I was saving it in my pocket for us to share. Let's eat.
>> Ooh, thank you. I hope it doesn't like explode or something.
Let's give it a try.
Mmm.
Uh-oh, I think this was a bomb. Woah, we're here on the Flying Dutchman's ship.
>> Oh, no. I heard the Flying Dutchman has real stinky garlicky breath.
>> Woo.
>> I think I can smell him.
Let's see what type of treasures he's hiding on the ship. Maybe we can find a secret ingredient to guard.
You see that glowing over there? Kelpo crunch.
I hope they don't taste like cow.
I'm hitting my face more than I'm getting in my mouth.
I'm genuinely actually trying to hit this in my mouth and I can't believe I'm missing that many times.
Bro, no secret ingredient in here. Let's keep searching. Careful not to mess with the Flying Dutchman because he can turn you into food.
Oh, no. He turned SpongeBob into mac and cheese.
That's not good. It's a mac and cheeser.
Ooh, cheesy deliciousness. And that's the ultimate treasure.
SpongeBob mac and cheese is pretty good.
Let's see what the Flying Dutchman will turn SpongeBob into next.
Woah!
Turning him into a giant fruit snack.
Give him a try. Ooh, we got a SpongeBob, Patrick, and a Squidward. What the heck are these gummies? They look terrible.
They're melted.
Mhm.
The flavor is pretty good, but they stick to my teeth like crazy. I don't clean these out. I'm for sure going to get cavities. Let's see what the Flying Dutchman will turn SpongeBob into next.
Woah!
A lollipop ring pop. I got to give these a try.
We got SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy.
I'm going to lick all three to see what they taste like.
Mhm. Pineapple.
Ooh, watermelon.
Mhm.
And blue raspberry. I mean, which of these three flavors is your favorite?
Mhm. It tastes good, but don't get tempted by the sugar. SpongeBob skewers.
They look so cute.
Mhm. They smell like mango pineapple.
Mhm.
Mhm. Super chewy sticky. Oh, no. He tricked me again. The Flying Dutchman really wants to cause me cavities.
>> He's trying to give me cavities by eating all this delicious candy.
>> We got to find his treasure. Maybe there's a secret ingredient in there.
Come on, let's keep searching.
>> Ooh, we found his treasure chest.
It looks so cool. Let's open it up.
Ooh, we found our next secret ingredient.
It's xylitol.
>> Xylitol is sweetener that tricks the cavity-causing bacteria into thinking it's sugar. But, guess what? That bacteria can't digest it, so they starve and go away.
>> perfect secret ingredient.
>> To add to our fat loss secret toothpaste formula.
>> Xylitol is such a powerful ingredient, which is why the Flying Dutchman kept it in his treasure chest. We got to get off of his ship before he actually causes us cavities.
>> know what? The only way off of this ship is through the perfume department.
Uh-oh, SpongeBob and Patrick, are you ready to get running?
>> Let's do it.
>> Ooh, ooh, Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. Ooh, Dior Sauvage.
Ooh, Creed Aventus. Ooh, why is there a why?
Ooh, I got to get out of here. I think they sprayed Axe body spray on me.
Ooh, I always hated going in there. They try to get you with all the free samples, and then your nose goes crazy.
>> bright side, we made it to Sandy's dome.
>> Just in time for some tea.
>> It's honey green tea.
>> Good job, Sandy. This is delicious.
>> Ooh, Sandy, can I get some?
>> candy isn't good for your teeth. I'll take that.
>> Let's see if this stuff causes cavities.
Orange pineapple jellyfish crunch.
They're light and crunchy, but they're sticking to my teeth like crazy. Sandy, these are going to give you cavities.
>> Wait, wait, where is Wormy?
>> Who's Wormy? Ooh, giant gummy worm.
>> [screaming] >> Mmm, blue raspberry and lemon.
Delicious.
Ew, slimy. I think I got some worms stuck in my throat.
>> [screaming] >> Gross, slimy worms stuck in the throat.
>> I think something bad happened to Wormy.
>> Yeah, I ate him.
Uh, it's just dental digest, no need to be scared. I wanted to eat the gummy worms.
>> Must have eaten Wormy.
>> I'm sorry, I just wanted to eat the gummy worm. I had to figure out if it caused cavities and guess what? It does.
>> Why does this keep happening to me?
>> I'm sorry, Patrick. It's time to get brushing, but we need to keep searching for more secret ingredients. Let's head over to SpongeBob's house.
>> Hello, SpongeBob. I'm here.
>> Ooh.
What is that smell?
>> This sundae is going to taste great.
Aren't you going to help me, Gary?
Gary?
>> Let's give that bad breath causing sundae a try. Sundaes like these require gloves. Ketchup.
>> Ketchup.
>> Now we just need to add onions.
>> [laughter] >> My eyes.
With the onions and the ketchup, let's see what's next. Huh? Goofy Goober peanuts?
Peanuts for texture. This might be the only saving grace to this dish. Let's give this stinky sundae a try.
Oh.
How does my breath smell?
Let's go see what SpongeBob's up to.
>> Wish penny.
Everything I could ever want is right here.
>> Uh, I guess he's staying indoors right now. What do you have in front of you, SpongeBob?
>> This is penny and say hello to used napkins.
>> Penny and a used napkin? Let's eat them to see if they cause cavities. I guess I'll try penny first. Thanks for the penny, SpongeBob.
Taste good, too.
>> And here's chip.
>> Smells like salty vinegar. Woo, I love salty chips. You've been soaking under the ocean for way too long. After those salty chips, I need something sweet.
We're literally inside a pineapple. I got an idea.
Woah! We got a chunk of the house.
Thank you, SpongeBob.
Woohoo! More pineapple!
I'm literally about to eat all of SpongeBob's house. Pineapple is sweet and delicious, but it's loaded with sugar, so you do actually have to brush afterwards. Tastes like home. I think I've searched enough in here. See you later, SpongeBob.
Wait! Look what got delivered. Chocolate bars with and without nuts. Oh, first the chocolate [music] crunch bar. It's only half of a bar.
Mhm. Okay, that's pretty good. Crunchy and nutty. Sandy Cheeks would love this chocolate bar. I've tried a lot of candies, but I've never tried an official SpongeBob chocolate bar. I'm so excited. Woohoo! Another chocolate bar.
Mhm. Wow, it smells like sea salt.
Chocolate!
They're so good. They're like way better than a Feastables bar.
Mhm. Even though chocolate has a bunch of sugar and melts off your teeth pretty fast, so it's better than a sticky candy. This chocolate's really good.
Let's see if there's anything hiding inside these wrappers. Maybe there's like a Willy Wonka golden type of ticket. See what's hiding inside this wrapper. What? What is this?
Woah! Mhm. It's a giant watermelon. It smells amazing.
Woah! First ingredient unlocked. Adding our secret watermelon mint flavoring will make our Fat Lab Toothpaste Teddies absolutely incredible. Instead of boring toothpaste tasting like medicine, I wanted Fat Lab to actually taste incredible, so you look forward to actually brushing for a full 2 minutes.
>> Chocolate.
>> Huh? What was that?
>> Chocolate.
>> Mhm. Let's get out of here.
Krusty Krab Burgers is my favorite burger for me and me. Woah! We're here.
Let's go on inside. Time to eat a burger. Yeah. Come on.
Hey Squidward, you're looking like a gigachad today.
Your jawline's looking pretty sharp there Squidward, but I'll take a Krabby Patty, please.
>> There ain't today, are there?
>> I'll just wait here for SpongeBob while he cooks it up.
>> One Krabby Patty, extra onion.
>> First bun, then patty, followed by ketchup, mustard pickles, extra onions, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and bun in that order. One Krabby Patty.
>> Whoa, check a look at my Krabby Patty.
It looks delicious. Mm.
I've never had a Krabby Patty in [music] real life, so I'm super excited. Let's give it a try.
Interesting. That was a pretty good burger, but it was kind of dry. Even though it was cooked in the ocean, you'd think it'd be juicier. Hey you, Mr. Krabs, do you have a secret ingredient for us?
>> Money, money, money, money.
>> What?
I I don't have any money.
>> I got an idea. How about a box of FetClor disclosing tablets? Will you take them?
>> Here you go.
He loves Oh, okay, Mr. Krabs, what do you got for me?
The final secret ingredient. It's nanohydroxyapatite. [music] It's the same mineral that your teeth are literally made out of, so it helps remineralize and strengthen your teeth.
We'll be adding that to our toothpaste instead of fluoride. With all four secret ingredients unlocked, it's time to get brushing. Let's head to the brushing lab.
>> With all the secret ingredients we've finally unlocked FetClor formula.
>> As a dentist and as a dad, I was sick of toothpaste tasting like medicine. I wanted my kids to look forward to brushing for a full 2 minutes, because if you don't brush, you're going to get cavities. Prevention is the most important thing when it comes to keeping your teeth clean. Cavities are the number one chronic illness in children and adults. The easiest way to avoid cavities is preventing them. How do you prevent them? Well, just brush your teeth. But I understand if your toothpaste tastes like medicine, you don't want to brush your teeth. Which is why I created Back Lab Toothpaste. A toothpaste that tastes so good that you'll actually look forward to brushing your teeth morning and night for a full 2 minutes. I've tried almost every single toothpaste on the planet, so I know which toothpaste tastes like doodoo and which ones taste real good. So, I combined all my toothpaste knowledge together, my dental degree, and my chemistry background to create the most delicious, most fun toothpaste on the planet.
And we ended up with the Back Lab secret formula. Enough yapping about my toothpaste, it's time to get brushing.
But wait, I need a toothbrush.
>> Breaking news.
Dental Digest is about to release the most incredible toothbrush. It's one of a kind, inspired, has ultra-soft bristles. Get yours soon.
>> Ooh, I want to try it. Ooh, Back Lab.
Ooh.
This is Dental Digest. Let's get brushing.
My mouth feels fresh and repaired after brushing with Back Lab. If you're excited to try my brand new Back Lab toothpaste and toothbrush, comment down below if you're going to get it. It's going to sell out super fast, and I don't want you to miss out because sugar is forever trying to attack your teeth, and the easiest way to battle them is with Back Lab. Subscribe to make brushing fun. Ciao.
