About Pepsodent
Pepsodent is a toothpaste brand created in 1915 and made famous by advertising that persuaded Americans to brush daily. Unilever owns the brand across most of the world, while the United States rights belong to Church & Dwight, so the same name has two unrelated owners depending on the country you buy it in.
