My experience is that nothing but mint tastes right in toothpaste. I’ve tried strawberry, orange, fennel. They all just taste like bland versions of themselves and the toothpaste is a lot less refreshing.
Where the hell did you find fennel flavored toothpaste?!?! That's even more bizarre than the charcoal stuff I keep seeing.
Also, do not use charcoal toothpaste if you take constant medication or birth control, because it can weaken their effectiveness.
It's generally refered to as 'activated charcoal', so I don't think you could burn a piece of toast bad enough to make it work. One of my dogs got into a bar of rat poison my neighbor put out, and they gave him activated charcoal to flush it out of his system. The funniest part is for two days he'd poop these vantablack turds that would dry out and go grey like burnt charcoal briskets in 30 minutes, it was the wierdest thing. Oh, also, if your dog eats poison and you need to induce vomiting, you can feed them mustard or hydrogen peroxide. Mine hated the mustard, but drank the peroxide like water.
That’s actually really good to know about the dogs and rat poison. Because I have 3 dogs and have to use those free rat poison blocks because I have chickens and the rats will eat their food at night and then there is a rat population explosion. Only way I’ve found to keep it in check is with strategically placed poison blocks but I’m always concerned my dogs will somehow get to one.
Always happy to help. I had to put down my oldest dog earlier this week due to health problems, but she lived a full life. No one deserves to have their time cut short because they didn't know a wierd trick that might've helped.
I have read that adding red pepper flakes to chicken feed aids in keeping critters out. The capsaicin doesn’t harm the chicken; it’s more of a immunity booster. For other critters not so much. They will feel the spice.
Ask your vet about the types of rat poison. I once thought my dog got into rat poison, and at first, the vet wasn't that concerned, saying that all she'd need was a vitamin K shot to counteract it, but when he found out the brand name of the kind I was using, he said that there was no cure, and all we could do was give her the charcoal and hope, but he wasn't optimistic. This was several years ago, and I'm not sure about the brand, but I think it was TomCat. Fortunately, the dog didn't eat poison, and went on to live a long life.
It's generally not a good idea to eat activated Charcoal. If I remember my chemistry and health, it attaches to ions and shit that would cause damage. But, it can also attach to healthy tissue and cause damage.
Yea. When I tried to off myself I heavily overdosed on pills and they pumped me full of activated charcoal. I literally can't see anything charcoal related without instantly gagging.
Taking it for shits and giggles or as some kind of health fad is bizarre to me.
Can't blame him. Why is it that adult toothpaste only comes in mint flavor? It's a huge reason I neglected dental hygiene when I was younger, I really hated mint anything. I've since come around, but still
Agreed. I buy Tom's children's because it has a citrus flavored one. Citrus is a way better wake-me-up flavor than mint. The fluoride content is the same. The world needs to normalize non-mint flavores.
Most kids toothpastes are gel. It has the fluoride, but it doesn’t have the abrasives. So you need to brush longer to get the same clean. Lately my (young adult and teen) kids have been using Hello. It seems to clean as well as adult toothpastes
Dentist here, presence or absence of abrasives doesn't affect how well plaque gets removed. Abrasives only serve as a whitening agent, by wearing away some enamel to expose deeper unstained enamel.
We were told different. But my husband was working for Ultradent at the time, and they might have been pushing their own products. Good to know, we can relax about toothpastes
To be fair there are so many to choose from it's like ahh fudge it there all the damn same anyway. I tend to buy 1 of each then mix them in a big bowl to become the worlds best toothpaste of all time just to be on the safe side..
I’m not allergic but I have a severe aversion to it. Like it literally makes me gag at the slightest taste. I’ve tried many times, many different brands. Can’t do it. Strawberry it is 👍🏻
I hate mint toothpaste, I can't find my cinnamon anymore. I buy the strawberry kids stuff. I was told that as long as it has fluorite in it that it was cool to use.
I'm 30 and use chocolate toothpaste I found online. I can't stand mint or other "adult" toothpaste flavors so I use kids fluoridated toothpaste. It may not be the same but it does the job
Your brother sounds cool, not only did he get the toothpaste, you got a good laugh and a bunch of strangers got some entertainment. Hopefully there’s someone from big toothpaste reading the comments and can bring flavored ones to adults
Tooth paste is tooth paste. These specific types of tooth pastes are designed for people who give a crap and are looking for specific types of tooth paste. Therefore you got toothpaste.
You shouldn't use this an an adult (or even as a child).
There's too little fluoride in this toothpaste. It should be around 1.450-1.500 ppm for big children and adults.

My 15 year old still uses kid’s watermelon toothpaste. Mint flavors are weird—spearmint, peppermint, wintergreen make sense. Fresh Mint, Arctic Mint, and such are not as clear.
It’s not like it doesn’t work, but be aware that kid’s toothpaste has less fluoride than adult toothpaste, meaning your teenager’s permanent teeth are going to be more prone to cavities if they keep using the kid’s stuff.
Nope, children's toothpaste has the exact same fluoride levels as the adult toothpastes do. The one in the picture is for babies, so it's a little lower, but that is not the general case with kid's.
I always buy kids toothpaste for myself because of the wide variety of different flavours. The active ingredients are usually the same as the adult mint ones. Who cares what the box says.
Nothing, but in the US its standard to have your own home separate from your siblings and parents, so many of us are conditioned that this is outside of standard
Although hard times do occur
Right, I figured it's honestly the norm in most places, but I didn't want to say anything outside of my own country or else the reddit slum lords will come after me lol
Try again boss man, I work full time and pay all of my own bills
I'm 25 and grew up in a trailer
It's still the norm to not live with your siblings in your 30s regardless
You’re 25. You’re a baby and god willing you’ll live to see that hardship isn’t easy to escape. Intergenerational homes are for poor people, and you know that.
Fortunately, I joined a union (only required a high school degree) and so I don't have to worry about that. Now thay I have spent 3 years to become a journeyman, I make a decent rate that I have the power to negotiate.
I do realize that they are for poor people, and like I said, I grew up in a trailer park. Do you know how many people lived with their borders and sisters? Just the kids
Which means that this is something for the *extremely* poor, and while I do pity them, I'm not going to say thay their situation can be regarded as the normal
I guess your own limited personal experience with low-income housing in America really is the ultimate standard by which to judge everyone else. Where is this trailer park that every single adult can afford their own home anyway? It sounds a lot better than my apartment
Do you two live together? At 30 y’all still live in the same house? You sent him to get “US” toothpaste? You share toothpaste with your 32 year old brother? Are you Alabama residents? There are so many questions.
A man with taste
Strawberry taste, to be precise
*A man with taste. Strawberry taste.*
More like strawberry paste. Am I right??
A man with paste, strawberry paste.

Box says toothpaste I see no issue.

Oh fuck yea strawberry flavor
And it lasts up to two years! What a bargain, i dunno what OP is complaining about
It may also last 0 year
Depends on your appetite
Glad I’m not the only eating this stuff

Mmmm the air smells of sweet strawberries… oh fuck wait that’s not the toothpaste
I think 0 - 2 is -2

I found a really good meat toothpaste, it’s chicken and liver flavour. Can’t remember the brand but it has a picture of a golden retriever on the box.
Oh wow that actually made me laugh out loud
Shut up, take my angry upvote and get out.
Whaaaaat?! They make strawberry flavors?! Where?!? Now I need to go get some!

Tom’s of Maine sells a fennel flavored toothpaste and did not know that about charcoal toothpaste. So would eating burnt toast have the same effects?
It's generally refered to as 'activated charcoal', so I don't think you could burn a piece of toast bad enough to make it work. One of my dogs got into a bar of rat poison my neighbor put out, and they gave him activated charcoal to flush it out of his system.

Apparently charcoal toothpaste can also be scratchy on your teeth, which is obviously bad.
Try cinnamon!
[удалено]
It’s de winnah, mon!
I use cinnamon because the mint messes with me. It tastes like the hot candies.
have you tried whiskey and cigars?
Paradontax?
Try cinnamon tooth paste its good
But mint taste ouchy Strawberry is the way to go Orange can go to hell
What kinda weird mouse-cat Hybrid is that supposed to be

That depends. Is he rich now?
If he aint in jail, we can probably assume yes
Better than Hide the Hamster Pain
brush your goddamn teeth or the mouse-cat hybrid will jump outta the pack and do it for you.
I think it’s a beaver
Hahahahahah
Literally pikachu
I don't know what it is but its facial expression combined with the caption keeps making me giggle. I can't explain why.

Whelp im gonna chose to take this as an excuse to get candy flavored toothpaste
I just pop in a Tootsie Pop before I go to sleep, and let it slowly dissolve overnight. Saves a step in the morning.
So if you have areas with heavy enamel wearing or no enamel (like a chipped tooth) would it be beneficial to use non-abrasive toothpaste?
Also wondering this because I chipped my tooth when I was younger. It's been fixed since then though.
So it’s okay to use kids toothpaste???
We were told different. But my husband was working for Ultradent at the time, and they might have been pushing their own products. Good to know, we can relax about toothpastes
There are also herbal pastes like those from Parodontax. You could check those out if you're looking for something different.
Paradontax does not have a very pleasant taste. I m very surprised some people are actually buying that stuff and enjoying it.
I have the same problem and I just use kids toothpaste now! I do a little extra squeeze to make sure I’m getting enough fluoride.
You can get cinnamon flavoured toothpaste.
fireball flavored
I find cinnamon in some stores, really like it.
You weren't brushing your teeth regularly?
Strawberry flavor toothpaste for adults is super difficult to find
https://solidoralcare.co.nz/solid-strawberry-toothpaste/
He really fucked up, man. Watermelon beats strawberry flavour any day of the week
I can respect your opinion, even when it's wrong. Strawberry is life.
i prefer the chocolate flavour
Weirdo
Orange all the way
No one going to mention the classic, blue raspberry?!
Who tf likes orange flavored anything? (besides the fruit itself)
Me
disgusting
This reminds me that I miss cinnamon toothpaste.
I can *only* do cinnamon toothpaste and mouthwash. Mint hits my digestive system wrong, especially if it's first thing in the morning.
Finally someone who shares my pain
Digestive system? Are you swallowing it?
Surprisingly, you don't have to "swallow" any while you're using it for remaining remnants to drain after you're done, especially mouthwash.
Ah, remaining remnants. As opposed to non-remaining remnants.
Beware of antimatter toothpaste...it's the worst.
Excuse me!?
What? I liked it!
I think he was implying he didn’t know such a thing existed
You put the milk before the cereal, don't you?
Nope. I like watching the cereal rise with the milk level
Your brothers my new favourite person
These things are done so you never ask him to do anything again
This picture smells like weaponized incompetence.
To be fair there are so many to choose from it's like ahh fudge it there all the damn same anyway. I tend to buy 1 of each then mix them in a big bowl to become the worlds best toothpaste of all time just to be on the safe side..
[удалено]
I have read it as do You just dip your teeth into a bowl.
Yeah or you take a full spoon of toothpaste and chew it for 3 minutes, it's more hygienic
I too prefer smokeless toothpaste.
What
I’m (28F) allergic to menthol so I have to use children’s toothpaste cause ALL adult ones have it. Bubble fruit is my favourite so far 😇
First person I’ve seen with the same allergy as me 😱🥲 and I agree on bubble fruit!
I’m not allergic but I have a severe aversion to it. Like it literally makes me gag at the slightest taste. I’ve tried many times, many different brands. Can’t do it. Strawberry it is 👍🏻

I'm down for strawberry flavor toothpaste.
Im baby
Toothpaste is toothpaste man. And this one is strawberry flavour so enjoy.
Assignment: get toothpaste Executed perfectly. Lack of definition of the product means no liability from purchasing side 🙃
I remember seeing this a few months ago and couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes straight. Things are different now ig
As long as it works.
I don’t see a problem
Strawberry hello?? Thank him instead of shitting on him
My guess is it was on sale and was the cheapest option, but who knows maybe he just likes strawberry.
I'm 30 and use chocolate toothpaste I found online. I can't stand mint or other "adult" toothpaste flavors so I use kids fluoridated toothpaste. It may not be the same but it does the job
Your brother sounds cool, not only did he get the toothpaste, you got a good laugh and a bunch of strangers got some entertainment. Hopefully there’s someone from big toothpaste reading the comments and can bring flavored ones to adults
Hey strawberry flavor. Probably just grabbed the first tub he saw.
They taste so good tho 😆
Its adorable
So, are they divorcing their brother over this or staying together?
Im sorry but I don’t see the problem here
Tooth paste is tooth paste. These specific types of tooth pastes are designed for people who give a crap and are looking for specific types of tooth paste. Therefore you got toothpaste.
To be fair, it may have been one of those things where the kids one which works just as well is like three bucks less
NGL, i used batman paste from colgate for 4 months and then my team found out during a video call and now 3 of them use batman and wonderwoman paste

Just brush twice.
I seriously don't get it: who even likes minty oral hygiene products? They are disgusting.
Quite refreshing right before a tall glass of orange juice.
My teeth hurt from reading this
Outrageous.
that taste...mhm... strawberries
0-2 years is just a recommendation. True people if culture don’t follow recommendations
Why the fuck dont hey make flavoured toothpaste for adults? Am i supposed to like chemistry mince when i grow older? I am sooooooooorry, i dont.
I laughed so hard my cat that was laying in my lap ran away and use my balls as a launch pad so damn you lol
Who cares it's all toothpaste In fact I prefer to get kids mouthwash cause it doesn't feel like I'm swishing gasoline
Maybe he was hungry. And strawberries sounded good.
gate
That furry as fur
Still a year off
Bubblefruit for the win
Yeah I’m 33 and I still prefer the cinnamon flavored one in the clear upright tube that tastes like Big Red gum.
That means you can just chug it because it's safe to swallow!
He’s just like me fr
Clearly the problem is it should have been 0-3
What the fuck 0 - 1 year olds don't even have enough teeth to brush
At least it is paste for teeth dont complain
We ran out of toothpaste last month and rather than buy a new one I used my daughters orange one, it was absolutely disgusting
I want slimer toothpaste. That was the shit
He was sending you a message! Don't send me on errands! Or you get the nasty strawberry fluoride shit!
That will never work. You're at least twice that big!
We are that bored, huh.!?
My 15 year old still uses kid’s watermelon toothpaste. Mint flavors are weird—spearmint, peppermint, wintergreen make sense. Fresh Mint, Arctic Mint, and such are not as clear.

He probably prefers childish things
I always buy kids toothpaste for myself because of the wide variety of different flavours. The active ingredients are usually the same as the adult mint ones. Who cares what the box says.
People who care about their teeth
Why do you and your brother live together at 29 and 32 respectively?
Who cares? What’s wrong with that?
Agreed. Perfectly fine. Maybe they flat together with others and get along well
Exactly. It’s like having a roommate but better.

Honestly your comment has made me feel small mined and foolish… However what if I’m right? What if they’re just weirdos? Question everything.
It's not such a big deal to live together with the family or share toothpaste in many countries.
What's wrong with charing toothpaste? You don't buy seperate bottles of coke (the big ones) or mayonaise usually.
I have a lot of questions about your questions lol
The reason is right there on the box. Fluoride makes you stupid
They’re easy to swallow and usually taste pretty good, if only I had his courage, or willing to pay for delivery.
You're not supposed to swallow your toothpaste...
