A Georgia dentist earned a Guinness World Records title for his collection of 2037 different toothpaste tubes.
喬治亞州一名牙醫因收藏2037支各式各樣的牙膏管，創下金氏世界紀錄。
Dr. Val Kolpakov said his collection includes rare toothpastes from countries including Japan, Korea, China, India and Russia.
瓦爾‧科爾帕科夫醫師表示，他的藏品包括來自日本、南韓、中國、印度和俄羅斯等國的稀有牙膏。
"I started my collection in 2001 to learn more as a dentist about all available toothpastes on the market," said Kolpakov. "Soon I realized that this is a very interesting hobby."
科爾帕科夫說：「身為一名牙醫，我從2001年開始蒐集牙膏，以便進一步了解市面上所有可用的牙膏。我很快意識到這是一個趣味十足的嗜好。」
Kolpakov said some of the most unusual tubes displayed at his dental practice’s "mini museum" include a trio of whiskey-flavored tubes in rye, scotch and bourbon varieties. He said the novelty toothpastes, manufactured by Don Poynter in the 1950s, contain 3% alcohol.
