My guess would be that the anti-freeze material is a filler for the more expensive material not being used. It might cost Colgate 40 cents to make a $1.39 tube of toothpaste, and it might cost these clowns 5 cents. I mean, it made it all the way to stores, so I would assume they at least have the sense to make a worth while profit on it. But that might be giving them too much credit as they don't seem like the smartest businessmen on earth. But why else would they do it? I don't think that they are trying to harm anyone.
Again I don't really know, I am just speculating. But it does seem like you can get knock offs of pretty much anything if your in the right country.
