Almost Like the Real Thing

Eureka! I have a way that my non-sweetened, all-natural toothpaste can almost taste like real, live, artificially sweetened, artificially flavored toothpaste. How, you say? A combination! My favorite tasting Tom’s of Maine toothpaste has always been Cinnamon-Clove. Gingermint, however, has a burn to it that resembles the strong mint flavors of other brands of toothpaste. I suppose it was obvious what I should have done all along, but it didn’t occur to me: put a little of each on the brush.

The flavor while brushing is the delicious cinnamon oil, then while rinsing, the burn of the ginger kicks in. The whole experience is delightful. The only problem is that I keep putting too much toothpaste on the brush at one time and end up with a huge amount of suds in my mouth. The amount of lather is like I’m brushing with bubble bath or something. But it’s tasty, wonderful bubble bath.

Ginnamon? Cinnger?

    Huh. Are you going to write to the good people at Tom’s with this idea? Maybe they’ll cut you in for a sweet, burny deal!

    That’s a crap-ton of toothpaste there. I use about half of one of those dollops. You and your weird aversion to artificial sweetner. Weirdo.

      Me, too. That much toothpaste would make me gag, and I don’t think barf-flavor is appealing at all.

    Ingenius! But leave it to a guy to put two large plops side by side. I think a thin layer straight across with one flavor & then the other on top might work better … think Aquafresh swirl-ish.

    You and Harold have the same toothbrush. I mean the same brand and color, not actually the same one, that would be ridiculous.
