The dragon was known for eating toothpaste, which was a clever marketing ploy by the company that produced the toothpaste. The video also talks about the history of the toothpaste brand and how it was produced by the same factory that produced the iconic "Triple Cologne" perfume in the Soviet era. The video concludes by mentioning that the show was a nostalgic reminder of the good old days, and that the toothpaste brand is still around today, albeit with a new owner and a slightly different recipe.
