Strong inside, smiles on the outside?

Hi, everyone.

I saw this incomplete advertising phrase written on the back of a toothpaste. Could you tell me what the complete sentence, using the following phrase, would look like?

"strong inside, smiles on the outside"

Thanks.

silak12 "strong inside, smiles on the outside" That looks like broken English to me. Part of the fun of such fractured sales pitches is that the meaning is questionable at best.

Toothpaste is non-count.

This is toothpaste. It does not have a front or a back. And it is impossible to write on toothpaste. But it can have stripes!
