Crest now has [whitening expressions toothpaste](http://www.whiteningexpressions.com). Isn’t it about time that they made toothpaste in flavors other than mint without marketing it for children? Or am I using kids’ toothpaste? 😕

I got the citrus one. It’s interesting. Not bad, just different. After 23 years of minty toothpaste, orange seems wrong somehow.

If you want other flavored toothpaste, Rembrandt has a [raspberry leaf and mint flavor](http://www.rembrandt.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+R0678FF1B4C9810145E6CB4H+LRP+ENG) that is decent. Also, [Toms of Maine](http://www.tomsofmaine.com) has a lot of interesting flavors, like fennel, anise, gingermint, apricot and I think I saw strawberry at the store, although I don’t see it on the website.

Watch out for that cinnamon shit from Tom’s. Burned the corners of my mouth raw.

The Fennel from Tom’s of Maine is decent, but I can’t find it here so I do with their peppermint flavor.

I like their stuff because it seems much less sweet than others that I’ve tried - if I use Crest now, it tastes like I’m brushing my teeth with sugar.
