In Spanish, Colgate is a comanly used toothpaste... But i see a reason that you would think that the product would be offensive. Because in spanish, "Cuelgate" means go hang yourself. But Colgate is a little different so many ppl here don't take it that way.

Is it because the stripes are in the colours of the Basque Separatists ? Plus of course there have been reports of fake Colgate in Spain and Italy.
