Last year, I blogged about my obsession with all things new and improved. I've fallen for it again. I couldn't stop myself from buying Crest's new Refreshing Vanilla Mint Toothpaste (as seen on The Apprentice). It seems like a nice idea. I like Vanilla. I like Mint. Actually, the toothpaste tastes pretty good, if you like brushing your teeth with your dessert. Instead of that "fresh from the dentist clean" feeling, it's more of a "fresh from the candy shop" feeling. This must be what British people brush with. Hear me now and believe me later, it's not a worthy replacement of goold old-fashioned minty toothpaste. Save your three bucks. Purchase your regular toothpaste and rest in peace knowing you've made a wise decision.
I'll learn eventually.
Most of those fancy toothpaste flavors are pretty stanky. Orange Mint? Eeewwwww.
Tom's of Maine has some interesting flavors, but what tastes good when you first start using it can get tiresome. Ginger Mint faded in the stretch...Fennel is pretty good until you start squirting it on youir salads.
But Colgate has a flavor called Herbal White that's really...different. And good. Not quite as good as the overseas version ("Herbal" without the "White"), which has a much stronger herbal taste, but really nice.
BTW, thanks for visiting my blog!

Posted by: EmilyL at October 29, 2004 08:52 AMMy tongue is pretty picky about toothpastes. Maybe I have some alergy, but I just can't buy any toothpaste I want. I recently discovered two types that don't make my tongue hurt - Colgate Triple Action & some Aquafresh kind by Glaxo (in a strange new type of tube).
