Well, there’s mint flavored candy. It’s only fair.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Mint flavoring was added to toothpaste as a strategy by Pepsodent to make their toothpaste more appealing because it masked the flavor of other ingredients and the cooling sensation became associated with freshness. It became the default toothpaste flavor, but really you can flavor it any way you want.
I once got a gift set of these mini toothpastes in assorted flavors.
It's a crime that yellow isn't banana flavored
Edit my take on what they should be left to right: Banana, candy corn, bubblegum, watermelon, blue raspberry, sour apple
Naw: banana, orange, strawberry (same flavor as pink starbursts), cherry, blue raspberry, green apple
I'll die on this 100% unimportant hill
This is like when you get horny for a certain type of porn and then you do the business and feel shame after.
Because your arms are broken and your stepmother walks in with Reese's toothpaste?
Slow down. Gonna bust if ya keep going.
Can’t decide if the fact it exist or that it’s in Australasia and not America that’s surprised me the most.
And for dessert ...
Fluoride free?
Yeah wtf? Is this just frosting?
Thank you OP for this cursed information.
That's absolutely disgusting. I brush my teeth to get rid of the shame of eating that crap.
I had to switch to cinnamon toothpaste and floss, because my cat likes mint. Fortunately he does not like cinnamon.
You should put the toothpaste somewhere the cat can't get into, like a drawer or medicine cabinet. Same with your toothbrush, and anything else in the bathroom that goes into your mouth. Airborne poop particles land on everything. You'll be doing yourself two favors in one.
But then pooping on my toothbrush becomes a whole extra step?
Honestly just leave your toothbrush out, it's fine. You're microdosing eating ass 😉
Close the toilet lid before you flush.
What about while you were sitting/squatting?
Mint, Cinnamon, Reese's...where is the savoury? How about a KFC Gravy flavour?
The grimace my face is doing right now is starting to make my muscles sore
*flavored. Not falv oured.
Look at the box. It's flavour. This is Australia and only the U.S. uses flavor. The rest of the English-speaking world uses flavour.
This sounds sooooo American.
The collab is only available in Australia and New Zealand via Hismile’s website
OK, the people who also eat Vegemite. Not surprising either.
But it still sounds American.
