    And you’re basically supposed to do the same thing twice a day with your toothpaste, which is why the tube says “spit out after brushing” and not “make a little cup with your hand and use it to swish some water from the sink around in your mouth, rinsing most of the fluoride off before it has a chance to work”.

          you’re not wrong, but almost half a century on this rock and have never encountered a “better tasting”

          Assuming you mean there’s an actual good one that exists. I remember my aunt used a Disney/bubblegum that was meant for kids well into her forties until she couldn’t find it anymore. There’s those, I guess?

            I suppose there are some people who just hate the taste of mint. I can’t fault the you for that, especially if you’ve tried several different brands and hate them all.

            I have found several high, fluoride mouthwashes, however, that don’t quite taste like mint. They have a sort of… Well, I’m not really sure how to describe the flavor. But it’s not really mint. Best of luck!

            what I don’t get is all of the different kinds all touting unique benefits. like anti-cavity, or whitening, or fluoride, or whatever. how come there isnt a toothpaste that has all of the benefits rolled into one tube? why do I have to choose?
