Lightbulb Toothpaste = Ice Cream?

I've been using Crest Vanilla Mint toothpaste lately, and the first time I tried it, it tasted like mint chip ice cream. It's a good thing -- at 10pm to brush your teeth -- I get the taste fix of the ice cream flavor without having all that fat and calories sit in my stomach while I sleep all night.

I almost ate it one time because it was so good

But I thought I'd share this interesting flavor!

can't wait to buy this and brush my teeth in the late afternoon, when my sweet tooth starts singing...

thanks for sharing the brilliance, ski!

Good stuff. I just finished my tube of Vanilla Mint and bought the Citrus Breeze. I don't know which one I liked better.

WORST TOOTHPASTE EVER

My gf had a tube that her mom bought her at her house. I tried it cause I left my toothpaste at home, HORRIBLE. I couldn't deal with brushing my teeth with that flavor, tasted like **** to me.

Hmm, I guess that flavor is just hit or miss then. I have a friend who didn't like it much either, and another friend who really enjoyed it.

I like it because the flavor isn't overwhelming and it's a change of pace from traditional minty-flavors.

Cheetarah: Thanks for the compliment on the guitar. After thinking about it, and then reading Grubbie's opinion on the Orange toothpaste, I remembered that they actually sell a pack of all the "Crest Whitening Expressions" that has 4 mini tubes of all the flavors: Citrus Breeze, Vanilla Mint, Cinnamon Rush, and Herbal Mint. That way if you end up liking/not liking some of them you wouldn't have wasted money on a full sized tube.

If they had one that tasted like hamburgers, pizza, or chinese food...I'd be all set. As for now...I just use Mentadent.

eh, if it tastes too good you'll be salivating all over the place

on a side note: i got sent this brush a couple of weeks ago in the mail. they are alway trying to come up with a new mousetrap with toothbrushes, but this one is a good idea. it has a tongue scraper on the back of it.

they are sending me free dental stuff constantly, small perk of the job.
and that brush was in a clear hard plastic sleeve/container just like you'd buy it in the store. just hard to see it in that pic.

I like the Cinamon one. Burns my lips and chin though. I look really bad if I let it drip at all on my chin. I get a really red and irrated area for like half an hour.

Have to stick to the baking soda toothpaste myself. I cant stand brushing my teeth with anything that tastes sweet because then I dont feel like my teeth are clean. Which is kinda weird since my teeth are almost too clean...we went to play lazer tag and they were glowing in the dark.

they both still make kid's toothpaste, with a disclaimer to only use a "pea-sized" amount to minimize swallowing.
still kids keep eating it and i surmise this has been the cause for the rise in fluorosis of late.

when you ingest too much fluoride and your teeth are at a developing stage they risk becoming mottled, brittle, stained, and pitted (read: too hard) due to the excessive fluoride.

fluorosis can't occur to teeth that are already erupted into your mouth.
