Toothpaste and...

all my guns and ammo.

I would be Emperor of the known world in less than a month.

They had soap back then along with "perfumes" for odor. You could probably get someone to make you a horsehair toothbrush or similar.

There may have been condom like contraptions made from intestine back then as well.

I'd go with TP. Wipe your arse with the wrong leaf and you'll regret it.

TP to sell like one poster said. Toothpaste would be handy to use as a cleaning agent, caulk, skin issues like bug bites and burns,etc. Probably could use the same stuff and sell it as different stuff and be King.

Which would you select?


Considering the times you'd find yourself in, I'd imagine there's a pretty good chance they'd accuse you of witchcraft and burn you at the steak with quickness. Think I'll pass.

You'd need a crew to help you on the tank so you'd need three fully trained 19kilos to keep your tank in working order. Then there's the matter of fuel. Luckily for you the Abrams can burn just about any flammable liquid. Kerosene was already around so if you could just find a suitable supply, you' be in business.

All of those things existed in some form or another in the middle ages. Though they hadn't necessarily made their way to Europe yet.

Won't need. Nobody else will have it, and after a short time you would get used to it.

quote:

Toothbrush (but no toothpaste)
Toothpaste (but no toothbrush)


Each useful without the other, but obviously more so together. Two possible candidates here.

quote:

Toilet Paper


No need. There are other ways to clean yourself, at least enough to keep from getting sick from it.

quote:

Shampoo
Bar Soap


Nice conveniences, but not necessary. They did have some forms of soap back then. Not great, but enough to do the job.

quote:

Lotion


Barely ever use it now. No need for this.

quote:

Condom


Aha! Now this would help. STDs were rampant back then. Of course, it's only two years and you could abstain for that long.

quote:

Towel


Not needed. Plenty of ways to dry off, plus you won't be taking that many baths anyway.

quote:

Disposable razor


Also not needed. Basically everyone wore beards then. Shaving would only make you stand out. Besides, you don't tell whether shaving cream comes with it.

So, it basically boils down to the toothbrush, toothpaste or the condom. Two years of damage to your teeth with no care at all could cause permanent problems. Of course, so could an STD, but you at least could prevent that with abstinence. I'd probably go with the toothbrush. There probably wasn't any comparable tool back then, but they did probably have some forms of soap you could use if you needed to. And even if not, just brushing without any soap or paste would still do a lot to protect you from tooth decay and damage.

Thus they'd say you're practice witchcraft and things would go downhill from there.

You could have just said one of these.

Less shock effect than tampons.
