Toothpaste Pet Peeve

Okay, so here's three different types of Sensodyne toothpaste. Why are these even called different types, when all three have EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF THE SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT?

there other over the counter meds - like that . One item we know for sure is Excedrin aspirin. they say Migraine or Extra Strength or Tension . they will be the same count bottle's . with all the same amount of Acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine, in each pill. but they will be selling them at different prices on the shelf next to each other . it is such a rip off to buy any of the others then the green Extra strength . there are no different ingrediencies and there listed in the same amounts of each and same order on the packages .
I buy the generic of this and get the same results for my headaches and the ingrediencies all match up. plus we get a much large supple for far less money ! also a lot of times the same item is made by the same company just a different tag put on the unit ~

There are other "active" ingredients, but there's something about the process they'd have to go through to allow them to include them in the active ingredients.

Ultimately the toothpaste isn't as important as brushing every day, correctly and for the 2 or so minutes that's recommended as well as flossing.
