Colgate Herbal toothpaste

Herbal Colgate? If the commericial’s promising a result anything like the herbal shampoo one, I’ll just put that on my grocery list right now. :smiley:

And it tastes great on a cracker!

Five - no six, including PhalPhoto (Welcome).

Oddly, I find Tom’s Cinnamint to be acceptable (even preferable). It has mint, but not at an overpowering level.

I guess I’m the only one who likes Tom’s fennel flavor, then.

Hell no, yBeayf – I like to change up w/ the Tom’s Fennel and the slightly less fru-fru Baking Soda. (The fennel flavour is much more pleasant, but the Baking Soda “feels” like it works better.)

(For some reason the lavender packaging of the fennel flavour appeals to me, too, although I feel all dirtied for admitting that such superficialities effect my purchasing habits.)

You don’t have to brush your teeth more than once a week, but you just might want to!

I used to use Colgate Herbal, and I found nothing wrong with it. Now I use Aquafresh Extreme Clean, and I hate it. I was lured in by the “foaming” action (I’ve observed that it foams no more or less than any other toothpaste), but I retch every time I use it. Mint is good, and orange is good, but they ain’t good together. I will never buy this again for the same reason I don’t buy fruit-flavored cough drops with menthol.

The Tom’s fennel isn’t too bad. I really like the strawberry banana kiddy one! I used to get it a lot. I haven’t seen it lately though, maybe the store here doesn’t carry it. :frowning:

My personal favorite is baking soda / peroxide. When we were kids, we used backing soda and Shaklee whatever it was.
Now, for all you weirdos who actually prefer this herbal gum killer, let me read to you the label. And yeah, I know I was a sucker for buying it. I mean, I am permanently out well over $2.59.

From the label:

Chamomile - That can’t be it’s correct spelling! Kitten murderers…

Sage - Jimmy Dean Sausages?! Pig sex wanters!

Myrrh - Didn’t they try to poison Jesus with this? Amen! Come Lord Jesus!

Eucalyptus - so now I’m a koala? Bug wipers!

They’ve already got us completely snookered with this Flouride stuff which softens our will, making us succesptable to suggestions… (See my POE = Purity Of Essence rant to come some future day)

My shame is complete and deserved for being so gullible, but you! Colgate-Palmolive Company!!! AAAaaahhh!!!

Oooh, look! A penny!

You lost me here. But I use Jimmy Dean Sage sausage when I make sausage pinwheels.

:slight_smile:

I found out last week my dentist now offers toothpaste flavors that include: mint, cinnamon, bubble gum, cotton candy, cherry, citrus, and orange creamsicle. I was overwhelmed and just went with mint, but now I am kicking myself for not getting creamsicle, just for the experience. One thing I love about the dentist toothpaste is the grittiness of it. Why can’t I buy toothpaste like that? I enjoy crunching on it the rest of the day.

I can’t imagine that some of those flavors would leave your mouth feeling very fresh.
